Cat 6.8 out - also new Linux driver
"Tony DiMarzio" wrote in message ... Cat 6.8 is out. Supposedly major OpenGL optimizations resulting in appreciable % gains. Driver and CCC Bug fixes as usual also. Gonna try both WinXP and Linux now. -- Tony DiMarzio Weird !!! Just installed the 6.8 and it still says its 6.7 in the CCC. ....and yes I did a clean uninstall of my previous drivers and CCC (which were 6.3) and cleaned the registry before installing. |

Cat 6.8 out - also new Linux driver
Yes my CCC says 6.7 as well and i defo did a clean install. The
drivers show the correct file version. Just The Catalysty ver is stil 6.7 althou it should be 6.8 in this release. Incidently i ran 3d mark06 before and after Ati 6.6 = 6174 Ati 6.8 = 5925 nothing else changed on my system, and i get a huyge 3d score drop, anyone any similiar experiences?

But how any games are still using OpenGL, other than Half-life? Any Doom3 engine based game. Quake 4 and Prey come to mind. Besides HL and HL2, the new SIN game and its episodes. Uh.... guys.... The original HL was OpenGL. Then a Direct3D renderer was added a few dot revisions in. That was in 2000, 2001-ish. All of the new Valve products are based on the Source engine which is strictly Direct3D. These include: HL2 SiN Episodes CounterStrike: Source Day of Defeat: Source Also, the original Half-Life has been ported to Source. OpenGL = Doom3, Quake4, Prey... all based on the **** Doom3 engine, Chronicles of Riddick (which of course you could play with a 9700 no problem at this point) and a few others. OpenGL is basically dead. Only Carmack's ideologies are left. However, it is still nice to see OpenGL performance increases for free because this is a major arguing point for video card reviewers and NVidia fans. Tony |

Mine said 6.7 as well... it's a bug. I manually changed it in the registry. Search and replace 06.7 with 06.8 Tony |
