Seeking ATI Catalyst 6.3b Driver

[Rodzilla]

Is there a beta version of the 6.3 ATI driver out there for my x1900XTX??

I see people here saying they are running it... but can't find it :(

Help?

Yep... but I'm not at home... so there is no point. By the time I get off work ATI should have it on their site at which time I can try it out.

From everything I've heard the x1900 cards should get a real kick in the pants with these drivers! :up:

Indeed...6.3s and 6.4s are the ones ATI has been waiting to combat the 7900GT/X with :)

Sweet, I hope I can score a few more points in 3D mark. Maybe I can break 40k, 13k and 6k tonight :D

[stestan]

01 went up 430 points and 03 only 50 :D running 05/06 now

Edit*:eek: 06 went up 13 points to 6265

lol.. as if thats even necessary.

[Drow]

In the benchmarks every point counts.;)

[Daveb2012]

are you guys using driver cleaner to uinstall old drivers before installing these? Im just wondering if its about the same as using add/remove programs/device manager to uinstall. Im excited to do some benching with them, still have a goal of 14k with air.

[SIOUX]

ATI have it for download now:)

[Drow]

Thanks Sioux.:)

right now im on 5.11's

are the new drivers any good compared to mine as far as performance goes?

[Stigggeh]

up to 10% boost on COD2 apparently with these 6.3's so i am happy

[Sheik]

No joy here.

Catalyst 6.2 - 5691
Catalyst 6.3 - 5689

3DMark06 stock X1900XT and 4800+

[Rodzilla]

The drivers don't seem to be giving the performance boost that everyone was hoping for :( I thought that was supposed to be with these drivers?!?!? So now we wait for 6.4 :(

[perkam]

No joy here.

Catalyst 6.2 - 5691
Catalyst 6.3 - 5689

3DMark06 stock X1900XT and 4800+ Because the drivers says improvement in 3dmark05 not 06 :rolleyes:

3DMark05: Pixel Shader test runs as much as 1-2% faster, primarily when Anisotropic Filtering is enabled
Doesn't look like it's going to do much of anything with 05 ran at stock.

[stestan]

Because the drivers says improvement in 3dmark05 not 06 :rolleyes:

Perkam

All i get is

01 boost of 430
03 boost of 33
05 i lost 8 points
06 boost of 13 :slapass:

[n00b 0f l337]

Anything under 10 pts difference can be just sway.

[stestan]

So basicly you could say only 01 benefits :shrug:

Aqua:
6.2: 114.914
6.3: 113.697

[stestan]

See if 01 gives around 400 point boost :)

[loc.o]

I actually loose around 460 points with 6.3 just in nature.

[Rodzilla]

I picked up ~200 points in 05 :confused: Got me up to 12632
I ran it right before I put in the driver... and right after... 03 and 06 were very similar in score to the 6.2 driver.
