ATi 7.5 driver released

Jace11 · 05-31-07, 06:37 PM

Hmm, will give it a miss..

I have an ATI X1900 Crossfire with an ATI X1900XTX, linked together with the dreaded dongle - which caused interference on my old CRT monitor so I switched to a nice 1600 Dell LCD screen.

I currently run SH4 in crossfire, with 14x Antialias, 4X Anisotropic filtering, V sync, higest quality mip map, and all features turned on the game (except damage model graphics - causes flicker) at 1600x1200 res...

It is sweet...

But I can only get this setup to work with ATI Catalyst 7.1. When I tried later versions the Antialiasing with crossfire didn't work. It was fine when using a single card, but not when using two.

So I'm staying with 7.1, just one of those quirky driver things I guess..

Holy crap. I didn't know AA went that high. I've never seen an option higher than 6x.

IIRC if you enable the "temporal AA" thing it doubles the AA value, therefore 4x becomes 8x and 6 becomes 12x, but I still dont know how to get 14x lol. Could you enlighten us on this.

I don't know... isn't it called super-sampling or something...

I can only select up to 6x or maybe 8x when using 1 card, I think the two cards take different samples and composite them together in the higher modes - I read up on it when I was looking at which cards to buy 18 months ago.

but as ever, there is some new AA technique out now isn't there? CAA or something it's called, can't remember. I tried temporal but I prefered the normal method..

Anyway, I don't know how it works, I just press the buttons...
