ATI Catalyst 11.8 Is Out

[Kodoss]

As long as Clod has some serious grafic issues (frame rate) its sensless to ask for a profile.

To remind you, grafic and sound engine are under revision. Which means its senseless to ask for a profile before the next patch is out.

Just have patience, my friend.

S!

Well, 11.8's seem to work fine in all other games though

I get the following FRAPS report from a dogfight (in cockpit, full real except anthropomorphic and icons) with the below settings. I don't think framerate has a serious problem - could do with further optimisation which hopefully is coming soon but not a serious problem.

Max 53 (note vsync enabled)

Thanks for the head's up. AMD seem to be churning out drivers like hot cookies these days.

They've been releasing a new driver every month for quite some time now, actually.

The CrossfireX profiles are released independently but found on your driver page.

For all intents and purposes, Cliffs of Dover is a released Beta, with a very, very small share of the PC market. I doubt they are even showing up on ATI's radar right now. When the new graphics engine is up and running I'm sure Luthier will send them a notice saying, "hey, the engine is no longer a horrible mess, how about you take another look?"

Until then we're just going to have to keep trying other game profiles and see which one gives us the best results.

Well I just wanted to add that the 11.7 CAP 1's added Xfire support for RoF so there is definitely hope of getting a proper profile for CLoD.

Judging by RoF's case (about two years before proper SLI/Xfire support, or was it more?), i guess it will be a long time coming before AMD provides a profile.

Don't get me wrong, the fact that the graphics engine in CoD is under overhaul all the time is also delaying things, i just don't think that even when CoD is in a stable state we will have that much of attention by the GPU companies.

It's the main reason i always go for single card setups, both in the past with nVidia and a couple of years ago with Ati when i bought my current PC: i'd rather have one GPU that works to its full capacity all the time, instead of having to wait for someone to "unlock" performance that i've already paid for.

Lol, from the guy with an overclocked high end machine. That's like a person driving a Prius and saying gas prices don't suck......

Point taken but I should clarify that when this test was run the CPU and GPU were both at stock clocks. I don't think a gtx480 is necessarily a top shelf card any more although still quick?
