Ati OpenGL booster!

An Ati tool to boost OpenGL performance …Doom 3 & beyond.

On an Athlon 64 FX-57 system (ASUS A8N-SLI, 1GiB DDR400, Radeon X1800 XT 625/750, GeForce 7800 GTX 430/600), the tool shows the following increase in Doom3 scores using HEXUS’s own custom demo. Timedemo 1 built in to the game shows similar gains and the HEXUS results show a 32% performance boost at 1600×1200.

Adding in results for NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX running the 81.84 driver show that with the memory controller tweak an ATI product can overtake NVIDIA’s flagship single-board SKU for the first time since Doom3’s release. The significance of that won’t be lost on a great many people reading this.
