I installed the ati propriety catalyst 8.8 drivers and have seen a drop in both glxgears and fgl_gears FPS. I was getting a solid 16000+ FPS in GLX gears and with the new drivers I am getting 10,000+. Anyone else experience this, and if so haave they found a fix for it?

Originally posted by Melcar View Postglxgears and fgl-glxgears are not proper benchmarks to gauge performance. My old x1950XT used to get higher glxgears scores than my current HD3850, yet it is obvious that the former is much slower in actual 3D performance.

I get 8000 with Radeon 4870, Catalyst 8.8, Ubuntu Hardy 64 bits generic kernel.
My previous 8800GT gives me 21000 with 169.12, and 15000 with 173.14.12
ETQW performance is worse than 8800GT, today the game hanged at initial menu, screen was corrupted with lots of very small boxes.Last edited by marakaid; 23 August 2008, 07:31 AM.

Yup. There is really no reason to upgrade beyond 8.5, unless the newer revisions have fixes that you can't live without. Overdrive is nice, but not really a must have (and given that it's rather limited in compatibility at the moment); the same with Crossfire.Last edited by Melcar; 23 August 2008, 11:47 AM.
