根據[H]ard|OCP網站的報導,AMD預定在本月26日推出大家殷殷期待的顯示卡驅動
程式Catalyst Hot-Fix 11.1a。號稱在Radeon HD 6800 & HD 6900 series的效能上
會有不小的提升。
以下是原文:
AMD sent us a press release on the upcoming Catalyst Hot-Fix 11.1a Drivers.
We spoke to the folks at AMD directly and they said these drivers will be
publicly available on January 26th:
AMD通知我們有關即將釋出的Catalyst Hot-Fix 11.1a驅動程式的消息。經我們直接
與AMD相關人員聯繫,公開釋出的日期將為1月26日。
The latest Catalyst Hot-Fix; (11.1a) offers increased performance brings a
slew of new features and should be the driver used for any performance
testing. Below are a few of the highlights from this driver:
新版的驅動程式會增進顯示效能,並提供許多新的特色。做顯示卡測試的時候,應該
使用這個版本的驅動程式。以下是此版驅動程式的幾個特點:
Performance improvements for the AMD Radeon HD 6800 & HD 6900 series include
but not limited to:
AMD Radeon HD 6900 and AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series:
·3DMark Vantage improves ~7%
·3DMark06 improves ~3%
·Call of Duty Black Ops improves ~20% at 4xMSAA and up to 35% at 8xMSAA
·Riddick Assault on Dark Athena SSAO performance improves ~20%
·Unigine Heaven OpenGL performance improves ~10% at moderate, 30% at
normal and 100% at extreme tessellation levels
·Aliens vs. Predators improves ~9% at 2xMSAA and up to 20% at 4xMSAA
·Batman Arkham Asylum improves ~4%
·Crysis Warhead improves ~2-4%
·Metro 2033 improves ~28% at 4xMSAA
針對HD 6900與HD 6800 Series效能上的增進(細節請看原文,就不翻譯了)
·The Catalyst Control Center includes an early prototype of some new
tessellation controls. Our goal is to give users full control over the
tessellation levels used in applications. The default selection "AMD
Optimized" setting allows AMD, on a per application basis, to set the
best level of tessellation. The intention is to help users get the
maximum visual benefit of Tessellation, while minimizing the impact on
performance. Currently no applications have been profiled, so the "AMD
Optimized" setting will be non-operational until further notice.
這版的CCC包含一個新的tessellation (多邊形特效生成渲染)控制雛型。目的是
提供使用者對tessellation充分的控制。
預設選擇是"AMD Optimized",這個選項可以讓AMD的驅動程式針對個別的應用程式
來設定最好的tessellation level。這樣使用者就可以得到最大的Tessellation視覺
效果,又不致影響效能。
不過到目前還沒有針對任何應用程式作專屬資料檔,所以這個功能目前還不能使用。
· The "Use Application Settings" option gives applications full control
over the Tessellation level. Users can also manually set the maximum
tessellation level used by applications with the slider control
另一個選項是"Use Application Settings"。則讓應用程式對tessellation level
擁有完全控制。使用者可在應用程式裡去設定最大值。
· The long term goal for the "AMD Optimized" setting is to use the
Catalyst Application Profile mechanism to control the AMD recommended
level of tessellation on a per application basis. AMD’s intention is
to set the tessellation level such that we will not be reducing image
quality in any way that would negatively impact the gaming experience.
引入"AMD Optimized"的長期目標,是要透過控制中心的應用程式專屬資料檔機制來
控制tessellation的層次,這樣就不會因為限縮影像品質而影響到使用者的遊戲體驗。
--------------------------------
我的想法:
盼了一個多月,終於有新版驅動程式的消息,雖然還要等一個星期左右才能下載。
其實10.12a hotfix對待我的HD 6970還不錯,沒有耍什麼晚娘脾氣,不曾有過
”臉色全藍”,可是就是會有一些怪異現象無法解決。所以一直期盼新的驅動程式
能消除這些”無傷大雅,但是擾人”的問題。
不過AMD對於提供這個新的tessellation控制的作法,真的有點好笑。如果真的需要
使用者幫你測試這個功能,請將之置於Beta版本,讓有意願的使用者去下載使用並
提供bug report。既是正式版,又是Hotfix,這種不能使用的功能,就不要放進
來了吧。
就是這種把使用者當白老鼠的心態,才會把安裝驅動程式搞成像是樂透開獎,
AMD/ATI的驅動程式部門,真的要好好加把勁。
(雖然ATI在這方面早就聲名狼藉,舊症頭沒藥醫嗎?)
