ati keeps giving us drivers sets like water and those groups like Zeropoint and omega are on vacacion i supose, i haven't seen any single realese since the 6.9 version.

I really wanna see something from them

I can understand French, and it basicaly says that these Beta drivers are the ones that will become WHQL Certified, because these very drivers are being Certified as of now (this information is taken from the link where is says "oui" for "info", it brings to a forum thread with a short description in French, that's where they say it's being Certified right now).

It also says that curiously it shows a new supported GPU version, namely X1050.

Other than that, it seems they are final, just not "officially" final.

Fekl · Nov 27, 2006, 01:35 PM

Why? Has anybody testet them yet?

ChaosMinionX · Nov 28, 2006, 04:40 AM

im running them right now, about a 3% or so increase on my 3d05 marks across the board can post screen comparisons if needed.

Hapatingjaky · Nov 28, 2006, 07:55 AM

EATM looks better and better with each driver release, hopefuly we will see it fully supported soon.

brotheresau · Dec 1, 2006, 05:51 PM

If you don't mind me asking, what is EATM?

A new method for clearing up alpha textures ( grass, tree's, fencing etc etc ). Basically it does what AAA does but without the huge performance hit.

EvaUnitXIV · Dec 1, 2006, 10:10 PM

is that only in x1xxx series?

No it works as far back as the R3xx series of cards.

I personaly leave AA at its max in all games I play same goes for ANSF HQ.

I am not 100% sure but as I understand it, it works in the same way as AAA does.

GeneralClaymore · Dec 4, 2006, 12:15 PM

I running them now so far no problems. I also using the EATM which I like. I notice some improvements here and there.

EvaUnitXIV · Dec 5, 2006, 03:00 AM

thanks but it doesn't really answer my question.

ChaosMinionX · Dec 7, 2006, 02:28 AM

Does the X800GTO even support high end tweaks?

EvaUnitXIV · Dec 7, 2006, 03:34 AM

considering eatm goes all the way back to 9500 series i think i'm not sure that x800gto is somewhere in there

Go to Tweaks, then Advanced Tweaks, then in the drop down menu select New AA and AF methods and it is the 4th one down. Good luck.
