Re: 11.8 Driver Preview for Windows 7 64-Bit Edition

I wonder if they fixed the OpenCL + video acceleration bug, it's going to be fixed in 11.8 so I'd kind of expect to see it here, yet the release notes make no mention of it.

Also, nice to see them speeding up MLAA, I'll be sure to check the performance for myself. The Nvidia's newly demonstrated version of it does work great on AMD cards, but the game needs to support it, whereas MLAA will work on anything.

Re: 11.8 Driver Preview for Windows 7 64-Bit Edition

Okay, I've done a bit of checking and it turns out that the driver delivers on both fronts I mentioned:

1) the card is folding (at home ) and I'm watching TV and nothing is freezing; extra good new is, this should work with 11.7 as well

2) there's a measurable performance increase with MLAA, not sensational, but it's for most intents and purposes as fast as normal 4xAA now whereas it used to be full 10% slower.

Has any one tested this with a HD4800 series card i.e. 4850 or 4600 series i.e. 4670 as I have both cards. I'm going to build a new computer for my 10 yr old daughter. Used parts that I have here at the house.

Re: 11.8 Driver Preview for Windows 7 64-Bit Edition

I like this driver. Works nicely with Witcher 2 and Crysis 2 as well as GTA IV with that iCEnhancer mod. Not often that I like Cat drivers they've always gone some annoying issue.
