Heh, same thing happened to me. I skimmed the post on the news page and instantly went to go download them. Then I read all the rest of the release notes and saw it was for those cards. Damn.Originally posted by cornelious0_0
I second that.
OMG, I can't believe how slow I am today.....I didn't see that. That would explain why I didn't really gain or lose any ground. Some scores went up a bit and some went down a bit. the ones that did go down were to the small enough extent that it probly would have been higher by simply running the test again, since your cpu clock is never constant. I found it kinda funny that my 3dmark03 and aquamark3 scores went down at stock clocks (from Cat 3.9) but they went up when the card was overclocked.
Whatever, considering this is the first release that hasn't killed any of my numbers to any extent I think I'll leave 'em be until we have the 4.2 Omegas to play with.
I was wondering why Unreal2k3 was the EXACT same (within 1fps).
I'm prefectly happy with my 9800XT, nothing you say can/will make me change my mind.Originally posted by cornelious0_0
I guess some people just aren't destined to have nice computers.....o well, not my loss.
Oh, and FYI spacefarts..........this was REALLY the wrong place to start bitchin' about your card. Read the bloody thread title and see if it makes sense to you. That's like some skinny white guy walking into a gym and calling all the guys workin' out weaklings. You just gotta think these things through, that's all.

It'd be a damn shame to lose that thing. Originally posted by Spewn
Hm, maybe it's time I upgraded from 3.7
). I'm pretty sure what was happening is that under load, my voltage was dropping a good amount. The previous benchmark I mentioned listed my cpu speed at 2135, when it's actually 2203. I'm most likely going to do the antec PSU mod to even further stabilize my voltages, because I was able to run prime95 for 19 hours at 1.75vcore, and I don't want to run any higher than I absolutely have to.Originally posted by Spewn
Upped the core voltage to 1.775, and I benchmarked to 13,022(yay, over 13k
I AM however having a problem with the catalyst 4.2 display drivers themselves. I'm not using the DVI adapter that came with my card, I just plugged my CRT monitor into the CRT output. From day one, and with the cat 3.7's, this has worked fine. However now, with the cat 4.2's, it won't output an image to the monitor. I can connect to my system via VNC and run benchmarks etc, but I can't actually sit at my computer and do it. Anyone know why this is happening? Only change was the driver change.
Not gonna worry about it at this point cuz its only a demo.I had that problem with the 3.10 and 4.1 cats, too.Originally posted by Iconz1
All is well with 4.2's in my games, EXCEPT, FarCry Demo...got some MAJOR fugliness goin' on, never ran it on 4.1's or earlier though. I deem it unplayable seeing as how only the II quadrant is visible and all else is baby blue blank screen!!
