I found there is significant improvement for 3DMark06.
and a little for 3DMark05, and almost none for 3DMark03,2001SE.

System Info:
E6700@3.9G=390x10 by water-cooling
Radeon X1900CF@792/891 by water-cooling

It is not much to say... IMPRESSIVE! And it looks like a damn good driver.

[Kinc]

Really nice Kyosen! I will try these drivers as soon as I've tried sub 10s in spi 1M.

[ahmad]

Wooow, good job ATI. Finally they decided to optimize for 06

Now Nvidia has 03 (only) to brag about

[eva2000]

awesome looks like a 90 pt gain in 3dmark06 in CF mode at least heh

[kyosen]

90pt???
No, no,

13069 by Catalyst6.3
12979 by Catalyst6.5
<b>13608 by Catalyst6.6</b>

So I could receive 500~600pt gain,
though you may not call it "significant"

Anyway, WR will be for you soon, Kinc

[eva2000]

oh thought the 13069 was 6.6 betas hehe

so 629pts! dam nice...

gonna try single X1900XTX record too with 6.6 betas ?

also noticed ATI Tool 0.25 beta 14 mod version ? what's diff between beta 13 ?

[blossa]

That would be interesting. If you do have the time please do that.

[turbotoaster]

[Marioace]

nice, will test this.

[IvanAndreevich]

The official should be just around the corner as well.

Could this be ATI's response to 7950GX2?

[rob2687]

I went from 5598 to 5997 from the Omega 6.5 to 6.6 beta.

Pentium D 940
2x512mb DDR2
Asus P5WD2 E Premium
Powercolor Radeon x1900xtx
Everything a stock speeds.

[blossa]

I went from 5598 to 5997 from the Omega 6.5.

Thanks for that report. Then I come to the conclution that not only the CF-support has been better(?).

/blossa - today with his rig in pieces.

[rob[GL]]

I am still with 6.3's... 6.4 and 6.5 caused random crashing and general bad stability on my computer... Even caused weird screen artifacting when loading windows...

These issues fixed in 6.6?

[Repoman]

I had similar issues, not random crashes but games just wouldn't start. BF2 locks up at startup with 6.5, fine with 6.3 I will try 6.6 tonight!

[jrw]

6.6 is supposed to be the donglefree drivers aren't they?

[deathman20]

Have the 6.6betas caused 1 specific issue.

When a video plays (pick one) does it downclock the video card to its default 2D clocks? Weather you disable the services in the 6.5's it caused this issue when I used anything but CCC. If it has eliminated this problem WAHOOOO!

[Frackal]

These are really good so far!!

Yup, that was another problem for me with 6.5's... When I had my card overclocked, and tried to open up a video file, it would crash my computer...
