Question ATI Driver 3.2.8


Anybody else tried them? If so, any problems or improvements in your game?

For me, Enemy Territory is "tearing" on the graphics. Things would disappear and reappear now and then so it gets annoying. The previous driver, 3.2.5, never did this. I suspect that it is the driver.

For me it works fine, just the usual performance penalty compared to the 2.9.x series. Games that did benefit from it (at least on my system) UT2K3. Unfortunately RTCW have still some serious speed problems: In the village1 map behind the crypt at the end of the level (you know where you grab the TNT) and looking back at the town I get 18-19 FPS with these drivers (same scene with 2.9.12 renders at 37-39 FPS, still low for this game) on my Radeon 9500 Pro. I'm sure that is a driver issue and not a hardware issue... but... Anyway, other than that, the rest of my games run fine... so I think I'll let tese drivers and wait for the next ones.
