DHzer0point Modified Video drivers are tweaked drivers to provide the end user with increased Image Quality and Performance while maintaining the highest stability possible on ATI Radeon graphics cards up-to the Radeon X1900 series. Built on the Chuck fix version of the Catalyst 6.5 Rearranged Video playback optimizations Increased optimizations for Texture fill and texture quality Further overall gameplay and Iq enhancements TAA enabled by default, we felt that although the overall FPS was a bit lower game performance was smoother. AAA performance enabled by default it just looks so nice that the small performance hit is worth it. High Quality AF enabled by Default Area Anisotrophy Enabled by default Download - http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1421
Nice, this is what Ive been waiting for. And to have them based on the Chuck drivers is a bonus too *does a jig* Will report back my findings EDIT: Sadly, I lost about 700 points in 3DMark05, and games reflect that score. I blame my card personally, the other card I had LOVED ZeroPoint drivers hehe. Other EDIT: Forgot to mention I DID in fact lower the new default-enabled settings to disabled, so it wasnt that. *tear*
Which games in particular? We noticed a lower max FPS however the min FPS seemed to be the same or better in almost all situations leaving the avg lower but overall performance was right on par. Games based on the ut2004 engine absolutely scream, games which rely particularly heavily on pixel shaders, have a bit lower Max fps,vertex shader performance is overall higher. This especially seemed the case with TAA as it's only enabled above a certain threshold, 40fps. Anything lower will default to standard AA. Please keep us informed of your findings as we can't fix it if we don't know it's a problem!
Quake 4 mostly, Id say Far Cry as well but I can never tell if theres any slowdown in that game since it never lags
Thanks Poopy, another quality set of drivers. DHzer0point are the only modded drivers that will ever touch my machine.
No they are not softmodded, we're looking into this for a future release. So far we have not done this for pure compatibility and stability reasons.
So far from reading this thread it doesnt look like ill be using these drivers just yet. 700point drop in 3dmark05 isnt what Im looking for on a X850pro lol. Some other people need to post some results from these drivers.
In each card its different. Very different. I used ZeroPoint when I had an x850 and gained I think 300pts total on top of my max OC of 605/640. They really are great drivers, just my new card doesnt like em. It doesnt hurt to try either, you can always revert back to your older ones if you feel they are giving you a better performance increase.
