This feature is available for D3D applications, and is supported on ATI Radeon X1900 CrossFire edition products.As with most Catalyst releases, performance has increased in various situations.You can download the drivers here.
- 3DMark2006 overall performance improves 6.7-23.7% with anti-aliasing enabled due to improvements in HyperZ efficiency on the Radeon X1300, X1600 and X1800 series of products. The largest gains can be seen on Crossfire configurations and/or 256MB card configurations at resolutions of 1280x1024 or greater
- Doom3 performances improves up to 9.3% due to further OpenGL shader complier and transform engine optimizations on the entire Radeon X1000 Series of products.

if you are attempting to link directly to files on our servers your readers will be seeing this page, please link to the pages on ati.com.
Edit: I just looked it up, they did say it during Computex this year. They said it wouldn't work because 965 lacked Peer to Peer writes.
well thats fine with me i guess but i rather have it all.
doom3 quake 4 prey. i dont play em anyway. wonder whats making it not compatible.
ONT, please ATI, have some performance gains on games released the past year. Who plays Doom3?? Ok prey is great, but already done with it. Give me 25% performance gain in GRAW, or 25% gain in Call of Juarez.. or these other new games. Who cares about doom3 and 3dmark05-06?? Give us some usable driver boosts!!??
...Good luck ;)...
Nice choice though :)
