Why isn't COH updated there like on 2.30 some thing now, unless you just use a pirated copy :( ?. Either way the benchmark figures are a fail as you should be using updated version of COH.

because i only have the origional CoH, none of the expansions and with the origional once u update the patch past 1.71 you can't play the compaign or skirmishes, you can only do multiplayer. Even if it was pirated it wouldn't stop me from patching it lol.

actually you can play the campaign... you just enter your CD key and it unlocks it.
I only owned the original until recently myself. and merely added the keys to unlock the newer expansions.

Its offtopic to this thread however, now that its been discussed whether or not game version affects benchmarks.

yea you just add your cd-keys for the expansions but when it asked for mine i tried to enter my CoH(origional) cd-key and it said it was invalid.

but anyone got any numbers they wanna post up? i don't think the review sites are enough, i mean i got 10fps increase with the driver yet on review sites it only shows the HD 4890 getting like 2 fps. so i think it'll affect each system differently. On a side note, i notice that the HD 4890 has separate drivers from the HD 48 series...anyone else think maybe ATI just optimizes the drivers for the 4890 more than the 4870?

Well just checked mines 2.6

How you change from DX9 to DX10 as i don't see the option in COH ?. Or do i just select all Ultra settings ?. Which there is only one setting that is not set to ultra which i believe was called shader quality.

I'm in the middle of taking benchmarks with XP x64 and Vista x64 but was going do DX9 andDX10 with vista but no option :(. Oh and all with Cat9.7 and 9.8's.

i suppose, but there isn't anything that i find wrong with the game at v1.71 so works for me :). I believe all the following patches only fix bugs that are in the expansions and gameplay tweaks.

you're right on the patch, ToV upped hte game the 2.500, and they patched since then to 2.600

Ultra shaders enables DX10, which also gives two other settings the ability to work on ultra.
