Catalyst 11.8 Preview driver
So AMD decided to release a preview of the 11.8 driver for Win 7 64. Info in the link, no need to install 11.7 to install these.
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles...erPreview.aspx EDIT: Yes I saw this linked in the main 11.7 thread, but figured its own wouldn't hurt, mods, if you feel so inclined, close it.

I especially like the 3rd point. 30% boost when using MLAA. Niiiice.

It hopefully makes all the Luddites think twice about their ignorant choice in racehorse, and while I'm fully aware a GPU driver has next to no effect on changing social policy, the sooner we get off 32bit OSes, the better. |

Hey, i'll never complain over any kind of free performance boost. Even if it's just "up to".
As for the 64bit only thing, i'm guessing it has something to do with memory mapping capabilities of the 64bit OS and so on which cannot be made on 32bit system. 64bit systems are priority for gaming anyway these days so i don't see anything bad with that really.

It is there, you just did not get to see the 30%, as, the improvement went by so fast... just before the crash!
![]() I'll take the 10% in Crysis and 8% in Fear 3; 'cause, just me personally, I don't like the MLAA visual tweak. It just looks,sorta, off to me.

There is something strange with MLAA performance boost. Yes it faster than 11.6 but for only first 10 minutes. When i start playing Borderlands i'm getting 67-75 fps, after ~10 min only 52-59. Anyone else getting this?

While of course I'll de-mod and deactivate VSync to try and reproduce your issue, without you elaborating on how you knew your FPS within Borderlands, I probably won't notice the time sensitive drop in performance casually through all the screen tearing I'll probably see, if my GPUs will even produce a performance drop in such a graphically "easy" environment. |
