New Cats 4.8

[spruce]

Wait CPU and video card you running? I might use these instead of the 4.9b's.

I'm not liking the 4.8s.

Odd, i'm having the same problem..

this driver sucks ass. it's missing opengl operations as others have pointed out and interestingly enough, it doesn't run counterstrike. At least on my p4 2.8C with x800 pro vivo @ x800xt. The driver plays doom 3 great for me and I've had no problems with my card for a month, but with this driver counterstrike loads and gets instant texture corruption and crashes quickly. Reverting back older drivers works fine(although the opengl performance is still crappy.) This driver appears to be nothing more than a lame hack attempt of ati to make their product compete in opengl.

Wonder if people in CoH would stop being blue if I used the 4.8's compared to the 4.9 beta i'm currently using.... 4.7 resulted in the same problem lol... Damn smurfs.

Problem goes away though when I enter buildings... Very strange.

No problems with Doom3 here, feels to be about the same speed as the 4.9 betas.

Unreal tournament 2004 is a few frames quicker at high res, still not quite fast enough for me to play 1600x1200 2XAA 8XAF in the one videocard killer map ONS-Primeval. I do notice that inbetween level loadings (black screen) the FPS counter now goes up to like 1000fps - kinda funny.

Radeon 9700pro AIW, Pentium 4 Northwood 3.2 overclocked to 3.57

Quick reference: 3Dmark03 same at ~5700.

For fun I decided to run 3Dmark2001SE since ATi says CPU limited games would see a performance increase (I'm assuming they somehow managed to reduce CPU utilization) and got about a 900 point increase to 18,777.
