make sure you test both drivers properly... Is there any difference?

Íve tested it (Radeon 9800XT/ 1280X1024 no AA,AF). But for me there was no difference between the 5.5 and the 5.6! I tested it with clear Sky and Overcast but nothing has changed :(

Maybe the Perfomance Boost will only be noticed on the newest ATI Cards!?

I've only had a quick, relatively unscientific test on a PC that has a 9800SE and the Su-25 1.1 demo at 1024x768. Results in level flight after hitting s:

 

Old drivers: 17-19fps

New drivers:10-12 fps

 

Thought it was using identical settings (sliders set to max performance rather than quality) but hopefully I'm doing very something wrong :-)

PS I wasn't expecting an improvement in most cases anyway. Magical driver enhancements usually turn out to be cheats or wishful thinking.

Actually, there is a performance increase, you have to turn on Catalyst AI, in the CCC. It is nowhere near a 50% increase though, and makes no difference on overcast clouds (the original article didn't mention overcast cluods, it refers to the volumetric scattered cumulous clouds). I get about an extra 4 fps is normal and good weather, no change in overcast.

You must be a strong believer

 

There was no mention of the LOMAC stuff in the dirver release notes; I suspect that the changes were pulled for some reason.

 

Hi Fellblade,

You must be a strong believer.

Tested in both 1.02 and 1.1 using the F-15C escort airlift mission.

ATI 9600XT Cat5.1 drivers tested before Cat5.6 installed.

Seeing up to 50% improvements in this mission occasionally but would say the overall improvement average is only a few extra FPS (which is probably 10-15% for this mission).

 

Testing several other missions without major overcast doesnt show any noticeable improvements.

Have an X800XL, and I must say, the 5.6s pulled through for me. Granted, I was only expecting a ~5 fps increase, and I got it. And I'm glad I grabbed those extra frames, especially when testing out Very High Water.

 

Here's frames with Cat. 5.2s:

And now frames with Cat 5.6s:

You be the judge ;)

Yep, I also noticed an improvement in performance. I tested with the first training track of the Su27 wich is overcast and I was getting about 7-13 FPS. With the new drivers, playing the same track I get about 13-19 FPS wich is quite acceptable.

That's how I tested the drivers too. 1st training track for Su-27.

 

5.5...30 fps

5.6...30 fps

 

 

Bah humbug!

Just got done testing 5.6's out from 4.11's, In the A-10 quick fly I got at the start 11 FPS more and throughout the mission it was inbetween 5-11 FPS more. I am very happy with that!

 

Stats

A-10 quick fly default high settings minus mirrors and heat blur.

 

4.11 5.6

start 26 FPS 37 FPS

60 secs 31 FPS 36 FPS

180 secs 31 FPS 36 FPS

 

but it all depended on where you looked, flying over a city and how high you were.

 

but like I said I'm happy with 5.6
