Is that what you kids call it nowadays? "Upgrading the PC"? Careful I ended up with a kid last time I "Upgraded" one :laugh:

Heh, if I had the ability to put up a new thread in the "News" section, I would've, but I don't have the authority. As I posted in the other thread, looks like the hd 4850x2 is now part of the regular driver suite (sweet!) for both Windows and Linux.

Unfortunately, though, the AVIVO converter for Vista x64 is still absent...

This is probably because you haven't been doing a complete clean install. Just a stab, maybe you are but in most cases people still having issues don't wipe everthing as clean as they should.

im gonna give it a week and see how they test out and make up my mind

That is what I was thinking as well. If this is true then GTA IV should see a big increase as well.

Good news for me .... with 9.2 Photoshop works again as normal ( 9.1 was messed up)

About the 20% gain , thats + 20 fps at 100 fps so at 50 fps that my HD3850 can do ,
its just 10 fps gain , well i test COD5 1600x1200 and i think that i got that 10 extra fps.

My max 45 fps become 55 fps.

The 9.2 its not certified ... but who cares .

EDIT :
On my AGP system scores looks messed up , lightmark marks fall at half ?? still testing.

More EDIT :
3DMark06 scores at individual scenes dropped down 2-5 fps !!
Crysis Benchmark Tool dropped too 2-3 fps .

Ahhh enough for me , back to 8.12 .

This hotfix resolves the following issues:

* Fix for problems with DirectX and Radeon HD 3000 and HD 2000 Series AGP Graphics cards.

Never had any ... long live DX9

Yes Sir I will tonight after work :toast:

I have the HD4870X2 and Vista 64

Sure cant be worse than 9.1's as I found lots of little issues and big issues with OpenGL ...

Um how did ATI drivers mess up your Photoshop?

The only that i have to say , is that ATI all that it does is to tweak drivers , to offer fixes for the latest hardware , and this causes troubles to backwards compatibility.

About the Photoshop story i had post an image on another post.
