First Rage3D and now on DH! He's taunting us!

Quote:

CATALYST maker:

Pixel Shader compiler improvements bring significant performance gains to PS 2.0 applications such as Halo (2-3%), Tomb Raider (4-5%) and Mother Nature (4-5%). ShaderMark 2 shows numerous gains in the 3-6% range. The High Dynamic Range scenes in ShaderMark (Tests 20 & 21) gain 10-15%.

I do hope the new control panel will be included, but deep down, call it a gut feeling, it's just not going to happen with this revision. The 4.7 perhaps? The 4.8's? ...

Thank goodness for Radlinkers per-game AA/AF greatness

Still, looking forward to the bugfixes and performance improvements in the 4.6's. Bring 'em on !

jumpyjim · Jun 9, 2004, 06:35 PM

Unfortunately, it's the old pic

I'm trying oh so hard to refrain from refreshing too often

**G.I.BRO** · Jun 9, 2004, 07:34 PM

mikeycooly · Jun 9, 2004, 07:36 PM

I'll be happy when I can stop hitting refresh

jumpyjim · Jun 9, 2004, 07:43 PM

No? Oh well .. back to the refreshing

I always have this mental flash with every new Catalyst release, of him to be seated in a massive leather armchair, stroking his white persian pussycat, relishing the torment throughout the internet's forums.

Perhaps with a horizontal pinkie to his mouth Dr Evil style?

See here : " dont have a master button.... lots of players are involved right now and things need to fall in place.... slowly but surely... 1-1.5 hours still"

I wonder if they have a huge plasma screen with the entire Catalyst team gathered around it, clapping their hands with glee as some office junior surfs through the net's forums, highlighting agonised, tormented posts by desperate Radeon owners

The drivers will surely be with us soon ...

I don't think my finger can click refresh anymore, cramps settling in

mikeycooly · Jun 9, 2004, 08:27 PM

Now I am seriously refreashing every few mins! COME ON!

jumpyjim · Jun 9, 2004, 08:29 PM

I think I'm *gasp* hyper-ventilating *wheeze* now ... puff puff .. c..o..m..e ... o..n..! lol

Though it seems Asus have jumped ahead before the start gun fired. 4.6 are available there.
