ATI Catalyst Drivers: 8.11 vs 8.12 Performance Mini-Review
PT Boats: Knights of the Sea
PT Boats: Knights of the Sea is a benchmark utility released by Akella. It is a tech demo of their upcoming action sim game. Simple and intuitive, this test runs well and provides comparative results.
The settings used are as follows:
DirectX Version: DirectX 10
Resolution: 1440×900 at 60 Hz
Image Quality: High
Antialiasing: 8x
Here are the results of the test.
PT Boats has set sail with the 8.12 drivers as el capitán and demonstrates improvements from 11.58% to as much as 31.73%. This gives PT Boats the largest margin of gains among the games tested using the new drivers.
Looks good !
Could you also add 8.12 Hotfix tests to that ?
Nice work.
I’d better get to running my Catalyst 8.12 benchmarks. I was going to do them this weekend but I started playing Far Cry 2.
Thank you.
Nice idea Karan, however, the Catalyst 8.12 hotfix was released to address a black screen issue with the 4850 cards in CrossFire.
It was not a performance related release.
