New ATI Public Driver - Fudo R520 Beats NVIDIA in Quake 4

October 26th 2005 | Drivers

ATI was playing with R520 since April, as that was the time it got some working quantities of R520 clocked at 490 MHz and sent some to the developers but its wondrous driver team never manage to match Nvidia’s OpenGL performance. Nvidia was just faster. Then a few days ago a engineer inside ATI USA we believe found the way to optimise memory controller and out of the bloom Radeon X1000 generation gained up to 30 percent of performance increase.

For all of you who think that ATI is cheating we are investigating on it and Nvidia has Radeon X1800XL cards and the drivers [ download here - available in 5.11 WHQL drivers expected before end middle of November ] so if there is any hacks in this driver we will let you know, we could not see any visual quality corruption.
