no imho u grafiky posledni generace se to dalo cekat

jinak pokud nekdo nema rad CCC a nechce ani ATT (jako treba ja - silene neprehledny a u spousty veci netusim k cemu jsou), je moznost nainstalovat posledni catalysty s CP, a pak nainstalovat jen driver 6.1

Já používám ATT asi 14 dní a přijdou mi docela super. Našel jsem tam všechno nastavení co jsem potřeboval (navíc je teď lépe přístupné), navíc se dá lehce taktovat a dokonce má jednoduché típání obrazovek, což je super.

To je podezřelý nárůst Vzhledem k mým výsledkům bych spíš řekl, že to první číslo máš bez OC (nebo po zapracování VPU recover).

X1800XL @ 570/1300, 3DM06

cat 5.13 - 3581b
cat 6.1 - 3581b

rozdíl 0%

[Kulda]

měl sem nataktováno stejně přes Overclocker - Overdrive vypnutej - ještě to možná někdy pro jistotu prubno jestli zase Overdrive nevypl overclockera ale co sem koukal na dalšího tak s x1800xt měl podobnej nárust po změně na 6.1 .

aby nebol problem v tom ze ta XTcka ma 512mb co sa u optimalizacii driverov prejavilo v naraste vykonu u XT ale nie XL , to by to vysvetlovalo

[flash]

Já projel 3DMARK 06 2x, jednou s 5.13, potom 6.1 a výsledek je 8% navrch pro Cat 6.1 na mojí 9600Pro.

[el_Barto]

3dmk03 5115->5083 v prospech 5.11 vuci 6.1

BTW: na radeonu 9700 bez OC

Minimálně 3700 b v 3DM06 musí přece dát každá X1800XT na default.

Co se XL týče, v 3DM06 je rozdíl opravdu 0,00 % V 3DM05/03 už rozdíl je, ale do výše statistické chyby v měření.

Ve hrách zatím neověřeno, tam to čekám zajímavější
