Catalyst 9.4 V's 9.5

[LoadsaMoney]

One sees that the Catalyst 9.5 in Crysis and FarCry 2, has not improved, but not worse. In 3DMark Vantage shows no significant differences in measurement which may be returned. Tom Clany's HAWX attaches a great deal to the players and takes on average by an additional 10 frames per second more fun.

Furthermore the PowerPlay problem, which we have described above have been fixed.

so basically not worth the download...

Improvements are improvements imo. This is their Far Cry 2 graph. ~4% on ultra high setting. In terms of percentages its arguably as significant as the improvment in hawx which is 4-6% better.

It's not just about performance gains either.

There's also something known as "bug fixes".

 

[FaceplantSi]

Yeah stability counts far more for me than a couple of extra frames.

 

[frankmcg]

Is this the driver where they'll fix all the HTPC related bugs?

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Also fixes the 2D/3D clock bug!

 

[theforce]

Bah, drivers still not up on ATI's website.

 

[CK61938]

Are these (9.5s) due for release today?

 

[something daft already!!]

I stuck on the ones from before the weekend and had to lock ups during video playback. Went back to 9.4. Perhaps this is why they have not been released as yet, perhaps there are bugs they want to fix.

 

[Frame352]

Announcement on the AMD forums claiming tomorrow as the release date now.

Tried turning off adaptive anti-aliasing? Causes a lot of problems!

Looks like they've made a balls and forgot to put them up, as they still have the 9.4's on there for download, but below that, it now says 'Discuss Catalyst 9.5 in our Forums'
