interesting... can't wait to try it on my 9800 pro

The_Pope · 10th Nov 2005, 20:53

Give it a go and let us know how you get on mate!

Yay! I'm playing quake 4 at the moment, so I'm hoping for a nice jump.. I'll post results in a minute...

EDIT: do I need to uninstall the old drivers (5.8)?

Tim S · 10th Nov 2005, 21:36

yes, uninstall the old drivers, reboot and install the new.

ch424 · 10th Nov 2005, 21:46

Well, before I was getting 22-45fps in the first room of Regeneration Center in Quake 4, now I'm getting 15 to 40 fps. What gives? And also, the adaptive aa option is greyed out. This is on an X800XT PE, so it is compatible, right?

do these drivers give any such improvements in the older gen of cards like 9800pro's???

Tim S · 10th Nov 2005, 22:07

They should do, yes.

ch424 · 10th Nov 2005, 23:27

Erm.. I'm getting worse results here with the new drivers than 5.8, and it appears TweakTown only got an improvement of 0.3fps in Quake 4 high quality and AA/AF. Any ideas bigz?

ch424

EDIT: Still no Adaptive AA after a uninstall, reboot twice, install, reboot twice.

I'll use the proper ones that ATi release tomorrow.

DarkInferno · 10th Nov 2005, 23:32

Just downloaded, was about to install then read ch424's experiance... gonna hold back till I pop it on my 9800

Tim S · 11th Nov 2005, 00:21

I doubt you will be able to set Adaptive AA without using the registry hacks on anything but Radeon X1000-series cards.

BioSniper · 11th Nov 2005, 08:11

Isnt it "adaptive" on the X1000 series and Temporal AA on X800 series?

ch424 · 11th Nov 2005, 21:21

Now I've installed the proper ATi 5.11 driver, I can run Quake4 with 4x old-skool AA and get the same framerate as I had with the 5.8s on 2x AA. I there's no noticeable difference running temporal AA as well, so 8x for free! Yay!
