Catalyst 7.6 Out Now!

hmmm i might get one of these soon tbh, whats the 2d quality like? ie in windows vista? i like the 7900 i have its nice and vibrant.

also i would like to force refresh rates in the driver and have startup overclocking, cant seem to do this with nvidia as vista blocks it.
 
WOW, the min fps on the FEAR benchmark has gone from 29- 45, and the average is now at 109. This is with everything maxed @1024x1280 with full aa. I'll post screenies in a min. Maybe ati have fixed the aa problem for all games(it was definatly working in the benchmark) :D

Tweaktown: ATI Catalyst 7.6 Performance Analysis

AMD’s ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT continues to see performance increases and it is clear that this month the driver team had their eye on improving OpenGL performance, which is great considering Enemy Territory is just around the corner.

The bad news is though that there are still no changes to AA tests and this is something that is hurting the HD 2900 XT at the moment. It manages to look impressive when you compare it to the Nvidia cards in non-AA tests (and as far as price is concerned) but as soon as you start to crank up the settings like AA and AF, it can begin to slump.

With all that said not everyone is an AA person - I have personally never used it and if you are the same, it would probably make the HD 2900 XT the better option especially when you consider the price versus performance ratio.

Hopefully the driver team dives into the AA issue in future releases but as always check out the full release notes and if you didn’t upgrade last month to the Catalyst 7.5 drivers, with the increase in OpenGL performance here, we would suggest the upgrade this month with the 7.6 version!

Ohhh.. Nice, wasn't expecting these for a while! Will have to do a quick before and after benchy on 06. Hopefully certain webpages will stop causing VPU recover to kick in now with Opera!

Good work on the quick drivers ATI! :D
