[internetlad]

hmm, might have to put this on, just to help my 7950 keep up the FPS in FC3. . .

Do they mean Sim City 5? I remember Sim City 4 was graphically intense when it first came out but that was years ago. I am assuming they mean the new sim city game.

 

[Stimpack]

Yeah, I would assume they're referring to SimCity 5.

hmm, might need this for tomb raider. my 7970 runs tressFX fine, but the occasional corruption where Lara becomes bald is annoying lol

Now the Crysis 3 benchmarks should be done all over again.

I don't know about that game. After killing some deer and a pig, I can't really take it anymore.

 

[Guest]

Yes! Now I get over 9000 FPS in SC4. Thank you for the long awaited update. 😛

Wonder if that wrong listing of SimCity 4 is a intentional jab.

With the camera positions in that game focused so much on other parts of her it's amazing you even noticed.

I hope they mean SimCity 4. 5 plays fine on my computer. Anyone with an ATi card starting with the first HD line knows that SimCity 4 never worked right when trying to play fullscreen 32bit color. Maxis pointed fingers at ATi, and Ati pointed fingers at Maxis and the problem was never fixed.

It is because she does too much " Render, Rinse, Repeat" 😀

Planetside 2 performance boosts PLEASE...

 

[abbadon_34]

I'm still wondering where's 13.2 WHQL. They still list 13.1 WHQL then skip to these betas, not to mention the CAPs are still 12.11 v2

That's absolutely on Sony's side, dude.
I mean, 7970 dropping bellow 30 fps? on a regular-class-graphics title? that's bullshit.
They need to improve the coding from their end, im sure it has little to do with what AMD can do. Besides, PS2 is holding hands with nvidia now, so fat chance
