    My doctor will be pleased :D

    There is meant to be a pretty good 3dmark03 points increase for all you benchers out there.
    Well, the leaked ones have anyway. Gonna try the ones linked tonight ;)

    Well...since no one else has posted anything in here I figured I would. I have installed these and tried 'em out. Now keep in mind...I'm comparing these to the 4.3 cats because the 4.4 cats showed a slight drop in my bechmarks. At any rate, here we go:

    Aquamark3: reasonably close to my score with the cat 4.3's. Close enough that I could call it normal variation.

    3dMark2001: I actually gained almost 200 points. Hmm....interesting. Improving older directX performance?

    3dMark2003: I only gained about 20 points. Still, didn't go down. :D

    So my conclusion is they are good enough for my everyday usage. :thumb:

    I didn't even notice any differences from my upgrade from 4.3 to 4.5.

    Since upgrading yesterday (from 4.40) Battlefield Vietnam has crashed 4 times with the VPU recovery kicking in, this never happened with any previous version. Switching back to 4.40 to see what happens...

    Turn off VPU recover. It just seems to cause crashes, and is pretty much useless anyway.

    I'm going to uninstal the 4.4's i have now, and install 4,5's, but i'll bench with 4.4's first. Than 4.5's just to see. :)
