4.8 finals/whql out @ ati.com as of today - BUT DOES IT ----

[glawton]

But does the 4.8 finals incorporate the same doom3 fixes that were in 4.9b also released from ati.

ati is a real dummy for not making this perfectly clear.

however I did pull this off the release notes on the 4.8 finals.


I just pulled this off the release notes of the 4.8 finals on atis website:

OpenGL driver efficiency is also improved. Older OpenGL games such as Quake III Arena and Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory show small improvement (1-2%) at low resolutions. Call of Duty framerates are up approximately 4%. Doom3 improves considerably more (as much as 12% on some product configurations) as a result of the same software efficiency improvements.





but is it the same enhancments offered in 4.9b?

Irony...

If you dont have anything productive to add to this thread, then do us all a favor, and do not add anything.

I thought his addition was rather witty, it gave me a grin.

Cat 4.8 openGL 6.14.10.4517 dated August 3rd.
Cat 4.9b openGL 6.14.10.4579 dated July 27th.
(The 4.7 set was 6.14.10.4454 for those keeping score of such things)

So the 4.8 openGL ICD is newer but an older version number than the beta 4.9 openGL ICD.

a) There is a forum better associated with this discussion.

b) There is already a discussion on Cat 4.8.
