(Nicht wirklich ausagekräftiger) 3DMark2001SE/default :
Catalyst 02.4 ~ 330 Punkte weniger als mit dem Catalyst 02.3

Was viel wichtiger ist :

UT2003, 1280x960 ohne AA :

Catalyst 02.3 :

Botmatch: 48fps
Flyby: 82fps

Catalyst 02.4 :

Botmatch : 51fps
Flyby : 88fps

Behebt auch einige Fehler in Spielen :

.)Enabling all options in No One Lives Forever 2 and restarting the game no longer results in characters missing triangles
.)Trilinear option is now available in Serious Sam SE

This driver fixes a lock-up problem, which was evident under
certain circumstances for the following games:
.)Spring Break
.)Lord of The Rings
.)Medieval Total War
.)Icewind Dale II
.)Sponge Bob 2
.)Robin Hood

Erst mit diesem Treiber ist auch endlich auch das Vsync unter OpenGL bei mehreren Games aktivierbar, z.b. für CS
(VSync bei z.b. CS+ATI-Karte nötig für fehlerlose Grafik bei CounterStrike : http://web114.proisp.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3965 )

"Forsed V-sync works!!!!
I've seen many people posting about the v-sync problem in counter-strike. here's how I got arround it. There is a registry tweak that someone posted on here before, I can't remember who, so I can give them credit! Anyways, here it goes:

Start->Ausführen -> Regedit:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Video\{XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX}\0000\OpenGL]

"OGLWaitVerticalSync"=dword:00000002

Per Mausrechtklick den Wert ändern auf :

0 = off
1 = preference
2 = forced

Beispielsweise CounterStrike geht nur mit "aufgezwungenen VSync", also "2" ( = forced )

Kann jemand mal nen Vergleich für 3DMark2000 posten, würde mich ja mal interessieren, ob die 15% stimmen...

Features Added:

CATALYST 02.4 gives provides users with a new level of stability using SMARTGART 2. SMARTGART 2 gives users access to both the basic and advanced functionality through two control panel pages

DX Override Refresh Rate - Users can easily override refresh rate limitation imposed by both Windows 2000 and Windows XP, which limits the default refresh rate to 60 HZ when applications are run at a different resolution than the resolution of your desktop. Currently users are only able to override the refresh rate for DirectX applications, a future driver release will allow users to override the refresh rate for OPEN GL applications as well

The Catalyst 02.4 driver also offers customer-setting options for formats supported by YPrPb monitors/TVs. Televisions are typically over scanned (i.e., the actual image goes marginally outside of the normal viewing area of the display). Selecting an Optimized Format will compensate for this over scanning, for the chosen format, and allow the entire desktop to fit the viewing area

@ernstl

Da ich weis das du CS zockst lies nochmal was oben bezüglich CS steht, würde mal sagen für dich auf jeden Fall (aber glaube den Trick dort kennst du ja schon, VSync bei z.b. CS+ATI-Karte nötig für fehlerlose Grafik )
