Catalyst 10.3 vs Catalyst 10.2

ATI a lansat de curand Catalyst 10.3 care aduce imbunatatiri de performanta placilor video Radeon.

In lista cresterilor de performanta apar si urmatoarele:

3DMark Vantage

- cresterea scorului cu pana la 8% pt seria ATI Radeon HD 5800

DiRT 2

- Imbuntatire cu pana la 20% pt seria ATI Radeon HD 5800 si ATI Radeon HD 5700

Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X.

- Imbuntatire cu pana la 20% pt seria ATI Radeon HD 5800 si ATI Radeon HD 5700

Vom testa aceste programe pe ambele versiuni de drivere pt a evidentia diferentele.

Pt test vom folosi:

Sistem:

3D Mark Vantage:

- Catalyst 10.2 - performance

- Catalyst 10.3 - performance 

- Catalyst 10.2 – extreme

- Catalyst 10.3 - extreme 

DiRT 2:

Radeon 5870 = average 1280 x 1024 no AA

- Catalyst 10.2 = 84.7 fps

- Catalyst 10.3 = 89.5 fps

Radeon 5870 = average 1920 x 1200 4x AA

- Catalyst 10.2 = 62.4 fps

- Catalyst 10.3 = 77.2 fps

Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X.

Radeon 5870 = average 1280 x 1024 no AA, no AF

- Catalyst 10.2 = 105 fps

- Catalyst 10.3 = 123 fps

Radeon 5870 = average 1920 x 1200 4x AA

- Catalyst 10.2 = 79 fps

- Catalyst 10.3 = 92 fps

Dupa cum arata si rezultatele, ATI a imbunatatit performantele in Catalyst 10.3 fata de 10.2.

Totusi au ramas cateva probleme cu OpenGL in Unigine Heaven 2.0. Pasul 10 din benchmark nu se vede deloc, ecranul fiind complet negru. Problema persista si in Catalyst 10.3.

Ceea ce s-a rezolvat sint ruperile de imagine, care nu mai apar deloc in 10.3

In concluzie va recomandam sa treceti cat mai repede la Catalyst 10.3 pt a beneficia de performanta crescuta.
