    What does "WHEER" mean? Like a siren noise? "Wheee-eeer, wheee-eeer"-ish? :|

    no drivers as it looks

    CM

    I did say it would be sent out to certain review sites today and that I expected articles later today. However the patch being pulled changes that plan. We cant really send out a driver (which is just an early version of CAT 4.8 by the way) to review a patch that doesnt exist

    Driverheaven benched the 6800U with all [tri and aniso] filtering optimizations disabled. Makes things a bit difficult to compare, huh? :)

    Not at all. You just look at the two numbers and see which one is higher. Thus the faster card . Come on jimmy you should know that

    It's Yugoslavian (Trandee Mountain dialect with a Sparksovian twang) for:

    "Isn't that a bit queer?"

    But it might also mean "I fell off the pier," depending on the slang connotation of the vowel reflux.

    well I mean according to driverheaven ati optimizes trillenar and nvidia forces fp 16. Can't change either of those. And so we just let it even out as thats all we can really do.

    Ati has one optimization that we know of that we can't turn off. Nvidia has one that we can't turn off :)

    Fine. Nvidia force cyrotek to force farcry to force pp hints.


    There ya go.

    edit. Actually since this is sm 3.0 that we are talking about there is no pp hints.
