CAT 7 to CAT 9 WOW

[blodhi74]

what a difference on 9700 pro .... good job ATI

 

[Chaotic42]

Meow?

I'm confused.

 

[blodhi74]

every game I tested, the image quality and FPS were improved

 

[Sid59]

what games please.

 

[nCred]

9? I don´t think CAT 4 is here yet.

 

[Sunner]

3.7 -> 3.9 perhaps

Can't say I've noticed any difference on my 9800.

not long now for the 3.10's to appear!

I'm sorry but the Cats have sucked it up on the past two installments. I would crash anytime I played CoD, BF1942 and NFSU. The Cat 3.9 were much worse than the 3.8s. I'm back on the 3.7s for that simple fact.

How do you figure out that its cats fault? Not your ram, game, hd, os etc...

I agree. Especially with the monitor issues (which almost fried my $500 VP171b LCD ) I say that the Omega 3.7 is the current best release.

I use mostly Cat5E, and occasionally Cat6.

haha thats what I thought he was talking about I was like WTF? 7 and 9? that some fast ass Lan there...

Anyways I use Cat 3.9 on my lappy and 3.7 on the desktop both seem to work fine for me I hope they fix some bugs for the 3.10 release though.

I went from like Cat 3.2 to 3.9 and noticed minimal difference.

 

[otispunkmeyer]

cat 3.2's have been the best so far.........all the newer ones i have seen slower fps and choppy running in C n C generals

Actually, they've been out for some times from ATI. They were released as a hotfixed 3.9 for AIWs but are actually non-WHQL certified 3.10s.

I'm running the Cats from Windows Update. I think they're still based on the 3.7

Work fine for me, but next time I reformat I'm going to try the Omega's.

Clueless. Those cats don't even support OpenGL.

Shouldn't that be 4.0? As 3.10 is too close to 3.1 for the simple folk online....

ATI uses the format: year.release.
So, 3.10 would theoretically be the 11th release of 2003 (since there was a 3.0) but since there was no 3.5 it is only the 10th.
There are rumors that next year ATI will adopt a 3.01 numbering scheme but that's not confirmed

Well, let's see--I'll do some detective work, here.


Cat 3.9s = Crashing

Cat 3.7s = Works like champ

Cat 3.9s = Crashing

Cat 3.7s = Works like champ

Cat 3.9s = Crashing

Cat 3.7s = Works like champ

Cat 3.9s = Crashing

Cat 3.7s = Works like champ

........................................................................................................................................................

Let me know when you get the picture.

 

[jar5tyle]

Cat 3.7's all the way

 

[beatle]

Hah, and I thought this was supposed to be in the networking forum... I didn't even know there were Cat 7 or 9 ethernet cables.

Which ones? The Windows update or the Omegas? I am running IL2:FB just fine and I think I have it under Open GL.
