I've been noticing slow 2D Performance with my PC, and the only thing I can find to illustrate it is IE9, so here goes.
First, I use IE9 and IE Speed Reading for this benchmark
http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/SpeedReading/Default.html
When I run it on my PC, a Phenom II X6 1090t with 8GB of Ram and 2x5970 cards running 12.4 WHQL Drivers and the Latest CAP, I score 41-47 Secs. on the test.
On an Athlon II X4 640 PC with 4GB of Ram and ATI Radeon 3000 Integrated Graphics running 11.7 WHQL Drivers, I score 10 Secs. on the test.
Other 2D items seems to be problamatic as well. Flash Video Skips (Regardless of browser) moving windows seem to not be as snappy. ETC. 3D Games work fine. Other browsers (such as chrome) finish the IE test fine (Chrome does it in 6 Secs, on par with the slow PC) I also remember the Test running much faster on my PC, but noticed this drop in the IE Score around Catalyst 12.2. It may have been slowed down with a few older drivers since I don't use IE as my main browser, but it scored much faster using past 11 drivers.
Is this a bug with the new drivers, should I return to the older 11 series drivers? Is anyone else running into this issue with the current drivers?
