As you can see (as a 4870 user) going from 10.3a to 10.3 leaves a hugh performance gap. e,g,

Dirt 2 1920 x 1200

10.3= 35
10.3a= 45

Fear 2

10.3= 73
10.3a= 103


As a 4870 user I'm a bit pissed off that the final product is significantly worse than the alpha/beta. Anyone else confounded? :wtf:

You have 3dmark? Can you do the test yourself? You have the HD4870 right?

10.3a is newer than 10.3. There was topic about it somwhere on TPU.

are you using the profile install too?

hmm? i had 10.3a on and then clean installed 10.3 ... and thought the fps was a bit lower on fraps but couldn't figure why.

i also have the XFire application profiles installed, is this what you mean? not sure...
