[cadaveca]

Sure. Gotta take my kids to school, then I'll install and see what happens.

Just tested the patch on HD 2900/WinXP/Cats 7.10/Crysis Demo.
Texture issue fixed

But the whole patch is huge and the installation is absolutely like Cats package instal

I'm curious on performance improvement, anybody benched?

[JC_Denton]

It's kinda funny that both ATi and nVIDIA have released their new "Crysis" drivers at the same time, both of them giving performance boost and proper dual-card support.

I am eager to see some benches about the ATi cards as well. Is this so called "improved performance" a true fact?

nice find!

default settings


Cat 7.10 GPU benchmark


Hotfix GPU benchmark


1st set of looped CPU benchmarks are Cat 7.10
2nd set of looped CPU benchmarks are hotfix

Observation:
I am not sure if this benchmark is reliable or not. The speed of the benchmark doesn't match frame rate at times. I will provide a pic as an example.

Edit:




As you can see, by using the r_DisplayInfo = 1 command you can see to the right what appears to be the actual FPS. However the information to the left is what is recorded in the benchmark score. As I've stated before, the benchmark would fly through the loop but IMO wasn't matching the actual frame rate being recorded. So by enabling r_DisplayInfo = 1 you can clearly see what I am talking about. What does this mean for the actual performance score? It may mean nothing knowing this...

graphics settings used???

[cadaveca]

I ran into the same issue investigating this this morning. I wondered why it showed low fps, but the actual rendering was not choppy or anything like you'd expect whne framrate dips below refreshrate(I'm using a Dell FP3007-HC).

I tried FRAPS, saw a minimal improvement in performance...1FPS only, actually, with the hotfix.

Anyway, I started playing to see if some of the rendering issues I had seen with 7.10 were gone...got kinda lost in the game...then had to step out...so I apologize for the late response.

If you guys would like more screens, LMK, and I'll toss some up. I just got home again, so I'll try to capture some comparos...

looks like this may work for more than 3800 & 2000?
curently forcing crossfire to enable creates artifacts and docent do much for performance
downloading now anyway so we shall see if it helps

[jimmyz]

big boost in cpu score in 3dmarks also. over double for me. with my e6600 @ 4.275ghz.

[mascaras]

I installed the "hotfix" without uninstall Cat 7.10 I got massive improvements!

Crysis benchamark 1680x1050 all game settings at Medium.

Cat 7.10
CPU Min 7.34 Av 14.90 Max 18.82
GPU Min 12.80 Av 18.65 Max 20.85

Hotfix
CPU Min 21.88 Av 37.7 Max 44.41
GPU Min 27.15 Av 38.09 Max 46.39

When using Fraps in game I get around 30 when walking around, around 25 in light fighting and around 20 with lots of enemies fighting. The lowest FPS I could see in game was 19
