New rumor about ATI Southern Islands

[kadozer]

Carfax did you miss this article from H http://www.hardocp.com/article/2010/...8a_performance Would be interesting to test them out now. AMD's driver team is behind Nvidia's and needs to be more on top of fixing problems faster, is 1 thing I do agree with.

Just wait till the 6 series, after all you are comparing Fermi Nvidia's current gen to AMD's old one.


I'd like to see the next Fermi coming out this Q4 vs the 6 series.

Yeah I saw that.. But, showing skepticism towards "miracle drivers" is a good thing.

In fact, a HardOCP forum member noted that Vsync and AA did not appear to be working properly with the new drivers

Both Cypress/Hemlock and 480/470 are ATI and NVidia's first generation DX11 cards, so I don't think the comparison is unjustified.

6 months late is not justified. That is a good spin though. The miracle drivers bit is also good. I don't think anybody from AMD claimed them to be that good.

There is nothing wrong with AA on Radeon cards as far as I know. However reports of it's use in game is not uncommon in BC2. Which indicate that it's not specific to any particular driver or video card. As for Vsync as far as I can see it works fine in BC2 in both single and multi player. So I honestly don't foresee any problem with the next gen cards.
