Catalyst 10.3 improves CrossFireX performance in Dirt 2 by more than 25%

Fudzilla: "It will soon be six years since ATI rolled out its Catalyst Control Center, and we're pretty used to seeing a new version every month. ATI Catalyst Software Suite features a few modules, accessed via user's interface, and they enable for hassle-free control of graphics card's settings. Naturally, frequent updates mean that the cards are being pushed to churn out the best possible performance, and each new driver introduces fixes and improvements.

The new Catalyst Software Suite 10.2 also brings a few novelties, among which the application profiles for ATI CrossFireX technology, DisplayPort audio for DP screens, improved performance in few games (we tested Dirt 2), support for ATI CrossFireX PowerPlay technology on HD 5970, HD 5800 and HD 5700 series' cards, Eyefinity support, etc."

But I don't do crossfire right now. How about single card performance? I know the beta drivers for 10.3 are floating around and everyone is saying single card performance is better too. That's exciting.
These cards are fast already. Can't wait.

Yh i dont do crossfire either as i chose to have a micro atx board. Im hoping for some new drivers soon for my 5770. Im not complaining with the current though...But any improvements are always welcome..

sak5005167d ago

Dont know but i'm not happy with 5870 compared with my 4870x2. the 3Dmark06 score with 5870 is 14xxx and with 4870x2 it was 15xxx. I hope the new drive can imporve the performance.

The best rally games of all time

What were the genre’s greatest entries ever?

Yi-Long3082d ago

For me, Rallisport Challenge 2 (Xbox) without a doubt. Amazing gameplay, and fantastic track-design and visuals.

Sega rally 2 on the Dreamcast was my favourite, still is the greatest imo.

10 Great Racing Games That You Can Play Right Now

ASidCast: "There are times when you’ve got a lot of free time and very few games that you’d wanna play. This is a list of great games that one must play regardless of how old they get, and not playing these would just be a sin for racing fans. Most of these games revolutionized their genre and probably created their own genre in the process, while some were just too advanced for their time. If in any case you missed these, then you better search for these games and play them for a fun dose of gaming history or as a new experience entirely. "

Bad list, but to each their own.

No Forza Horizon, Driveclub, Assetto Corsa, or Grid Autosport?

And if you can throw in Trials when its not a racing game, why is there no Rocket League?

C-H-E-F3090d ago (Edited 3090d ago )

what shocked me was two games I loved during the ps2 era

JUICED and Street Racing Syndicate, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit

Then you have Forza 3, GT5, and the others you named above... smh

edit: and crazy taxi and trails aren't even racers lOl

traumadisaster3090d ago

Bought Grid 1 on pc for 2.50 last week, playing that at 4k60fps will make you feel nuts for ever spending 100's on racing games.

nowitzki20043090d ago

Says the guy who payed 100's on his 4k rig to play a racing game /s.

JK, Im sure its amazing in 4k... Its amazing in 1080p too so I can only imagine. You should try Grid Autosport, I actually liked that better than Grid.

traumadisaster3090d ago

I'll get it in a couple of years for 2.50. After I beat grid 2 and about 5 other racers I have.

Nitromonteiro3090d ago

@nowitski2004: I chose Project CARS over Assetto Corsa as a personal opinion,and Grid 1 over Autosport because the first one was great 'for it's time', autosport was good but just not that great.
Rocket League would actually be the next game if could make a longer list,really sorry on that.

@C-H-E-F: Juiced and SRS,are you serious? These are the games that defines the genre?
Hot Pursuit 2010 was Burnout Paradise with licensed carswith cops and wasn't even a better game world.
Crazy Taxi wins on the mobile platform,there are very few racing games on mobile with a open world. And the few there are,arent as good as Crazy Taxi. And racing against the clock makes does it a racing game.
