awww my favourite!

Direct3D Setting Enhancement

Previous versions of the ATI display driver required the monitor going blank for up to 8 seconds when applying Direct3D settings. The latest ATI software driver for the RADEON? 9500 and higher class of products now allows for the Direct3D setting to be applied without the monitor's display going blank.

that black flash was annoyin:D:D

Not a gatecrasher fan?

I was actually going to be the gatecrasher forum administrator, but the gatecrasher staff are so unorganised that I actually didn't get to do anything in the 2 weeks I spent offering my services. Now have a job so bugger em. Not been to Gatecrasher for 19 months now, tho I am going to Sheffield at the end of the month to see some old uni mates.

Notice they only enhance the perfomance of common benchmark programs... what about others?!? :(

actually i wouldnt call a 2% increase any noticible difference.

are you finding you need a performance increase with your card? mine seems to chew everything up and spit them out lol

    • Absolutely NOBODY has suggested such a conclusion. I am affirming the sober reality check that AV2's overall market adoption will take longer than AV1's adoption rate -- which, by the way, is the whole point of the article! While PCI-SIG is productive (on paper), other WGs have created all sorts of confusing progress plans that consumers have tuned-out of their improvements... HTML/W3C, USB, HDMI, BT, WIFI (ieee802.11) as a few other groups where spec naming conventions, split progress paths, overlapping ambitions... I'm not critiquing the AV specs group; I'm simply affirming that adoption for AV2 faces headwinds beyond the macroeconomics of it all.

    • No thanks! WebView trash is unacceptable. I only use software that's native.
