ATI 11.7 drivers out - 10+ fps increase

(pinion120) #1

EDIT EDIT (Results so far based on video card)

HD 5800 series - 11.8 preferred

EDIT:

Ok so I tried the 11.8 preview driver and it works a helluva lot better for me. Link: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=348465

My rig

Intel Core 2 Duo 3ghz
Radeon HD 5850 1 gig vid ram
4 gig ram
Win 7 64 bit

Since a lot of people don’t read the tech forum, new ATI drivers are out and lots of FPS gains being reported…

I am going back to 11.2. Oh ATI…

Tks for heads up. If 11.8 previews are out already, could mean there were still issues with 11.7 and are pressing forward (?)

I have about 10fps less with the 11.8 previews(instead of average 60-70 i got 50). Will try 11.7, but i doubt any driver will be better than 10.8

Try the 11.7. I had it down into the 30s with 11.8 but with 11.7 it is in the 50s. The preview drivers are dated July thirteenth so the 11.7 might actually be newer.

Please post your video card and system configuration and I’ll update the OP with results. Post whichever 11.7 or 11.8 worked better for you.
