Performance Improvements

• Numerous D3D games show 2-3% gains at low resolution. The small batch size tests in 3DMark05 show improvements as large as 15% on some products.

• In OpenGL, several game titles show improvements in the lower settings. Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory, for instance, shows gains as large as 15% in low resolution (driver-bound) cases. Doom III performance improves 5-10% at low settings. Call of Duty improves 5-6%.

• Half-Life 2 performance also improves as much as 20% over Catalyst 4.11 in certain sections of the game.

Uso o Omega baseado no Catalyst 4.12 Beta. Mas nos testes que vi, o 4.12 obteve bom desempenho. Vale a pena.

Estou baixando o meu agora, vou testa-lo no HL2 e no NFSU2... mas creio que não deve ser algo de tão milagroso assim na melhora..

flws!

Eu instalei aqui e não vi nenhum milagre, mas também não estou jogando nada muito recente... só achei o Catalyst Control Center um avanço monumental em relação a interface normal (Control Panel) e mais estável do que na versão 4.10. Na minha opinião, acho que vale à pena sim, mas não espere nada extraordinário, ou que os pequenos problemas que o 4.10/4.11 tem com o GTA 3 desapareçam...
