A new driver has been released, ATI CATALYST 4.2. Things changed lately, there is now a fresh new demo ready to create benchmark results. Talking about Unreal Tournament 2004 Demo, a first person shooter with all the latest elements of DirectX 9. A fresh Windows XP installation including service pack 1 from microsoft has been used with ofcourse DirectX 9.0b. The most used resolution used now is 1024x768 with a color quality of 32 bit. Thats also the reason that we used it. We used games the get the most realistic results. Six games in this test, one based on DirectX 8 and the five others using the latest DirectX 9, view the list:
