Ha u beat me to it. Ya was hoping thier be something in the release notes regarding sh4, well downloading now ill install and see if the sun is a sun on my x1300 woohoo!

Capt. Shark Bait · 09-11-07, 07:10 AM

don't bet on gettin any sun glare. i really think it's hardware related that last gen GPUs can't render it

SteamWake · 09-11-07, 09:13 AM

Good lord already another update ?

There pushing these out like once a month or something.

Again in the meantime my card is working fine so I dont plan to fix it.

If anyone was having trouble updating their x1300 card like I was with 7.8, ATI seems to have fixed the problem with 7.9. I noticed on ATI's website that the drivers in the search section for the x1300 were not listed as grouped with the x1550 like they were for 7.8 (when doing an update search they were grouped together ie x1300/x1550). Now they are listed seperately. Not sure if they had people downloading the wrong drivers or not with 7.8.

New versions always improve FPS slightly, so cant wait to test.

What do you guys think is better, these new drivers by ATI or my current Omega drivers 3.8.330? :hmm:

rcjonessnp175 · 09-11-07, 04:18 PM

Hey Hitman im going to ask a totally Noob question, but ur omega drivers, do they fix anything with the sun for the older ati cards. In regards to 7.9 i dont see a fps improvement on my boat.

Bummer. There was a pretty good increase with 7.7. Cant wait for after work.

No mention of the SHIV issues in the section for Vista 32 either. Not even in the known issues section! Are these people listening to their customer base....

Not AFAIK, they are just optimized drivers :hmm:

If you set the AA mode higher than 4x, you will loose the glare effects. Also checking Gamma Correction causes you to loose the glare effect

Thank you very much,sir!My last nVidia was 7800GTX so I've already forgotten a few things,but this was really helpful.Thank you once again....of course it's working....

Huh. Didn't know that about the 'gamma corrected' thing.

Well THAT explains a few things!

"Gamma-corrected" AA is considered a major feature, but it came at a slight performance hit. The Radeon X1K-series cards always have it enabled - you cannot disable it - which would explain the lack of AA on those cards! IE., a feature added to these cards to give them a quality advantage over their competitors turns out to be what breaks FSAA in Sh4? Now *that* is quality QA testing!
