I see what I see, and you see what you see. I can't make you see what I see, but I can tell you what I see is not what you see. Truth is, we see what we want to see, and what we want to see is what those around us see. And what we don't see is... well, conspiracies.
Another great TT review: http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/11...red/index.htmlOriginally Posted by ahmad
Reviewers take notes.
I really like how they overclocked both cards to the max and benched them again and compared. Given its luck of the draw when overclocking it give you a good indication of what is possible.
i'm referring to this asus hd2900xt review

You know you want to
wait... let me get this straight, the drivers really suck for compatibility and performance for r600 and ati kept promising there is a lot of extra perf that can be tweaked out of the cards with better drivers, and now they improve their drivers for crossfire which actually slightly decreases the signlecards r600 perf?

What? Decreases?

ATi and OpenGL is still a match in hell.....
This is what happens when you have dual monitors and play an OpenGL game...

I'm getting similar problems with quakewars, except wth mine, the bottom half of the image renders fine, while the upper half is all screwed up missing textures, wrong geometry, etc...ATi and OpenGL is still a match in hell.....

Well, at least you get Open GL to run at all, all the older half-life based games wont even load/boot with the 7.5's on....... Weak....

Not sure how Vista rates gaming cards but Catalyst 7.6 lowered my mildly clocked HD2900 from a 5.9 to a 5.8; the same on my bros rig with an X1950XTX 512MB, from a 5.8 to a 5.7 in Gaming Graphics
I haven't noticed any difference in CS:S but I did get a BSOD in Media Center and a graphics card driver error report upon reboot telling me to get the latest drivers from AMD.
I guess I'll patiently wait for 7.6

General gaming performance has increased with these drivers on a HD2900XT 512MB, seriously impressed with this card! Much much better than the crappy GTS and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't feel upset getting this over an GTX/Ultra.

keep waiting
But the Ultra would make you more impressed =)
Everything extra is bad!
So whats the verdict? These drivers any good or what?

I like my FPS games.. so even the older ones get played once in a while...
