Catalyst 9.3 display driver: Conclusion

The Catalyst 9.3 display driver isn't really faster than it fast predecessor, but didn't cause in trouble during our tests - so updating from 9.2 to 9.3 isn't really necessary. But if you just bought a Radeon card or reinstall your system you should use the Catalyst 9.3 of course.

Why on earth do ATI always keep posting about Lost Planet's performance increase in almost all their driver release notes? Is Capcom paying them to do so? :S

that's the part that interests me considering the CPU usage those stupid drivers have been causing.. Hopefully i don't need to keep it disabled anymore.. :)
 
My Avivo issue isn't fixed yet. I think last resort it OS re-install.

That aside, so far the drivers seem pretty good. I'm beginning to believe that my Avivo issue is something other than drivers. Game performance issues in POP4 from 9.1 seem to be fixed.

lol:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: dont say that..90% of TE guy will get a heart break after spending their hard earned $$$ to play the "crysis-8bit sidescroller "
 
nothing new as usual crap drivers and ati maintaining there repo of releasing useless drivers.NO boost in performance in any game at all i tested infact perfo gets lowered in some cases.hell u fcukof* ATI.
 
Dunno about the performance of the drivers in games, but AVIVO convertor still sucks. Converting aXXos to Iphone H.264, the resulting quality is pathetic no matter what settings I choose. Agreed that its much faster than Total Video Convertor. But resulting video quality of TVC, AVIVO ki baap hai.
