New Radeon Drivers

New Radeon drivers are available at www.reactorcritical.com which supposedly enable the smoothvision fsaa feature. Thinking of getting an 8500 if the drivers get sorted. Maybe someone with one can try these drivers and give th NG a report. Cheers... Phillip...

Phillip, I have been using these driver for a few days. They are running N4 and GPL very nicely. I run N4 in OGL and GPL in D3D mode. I don't believe the FSAA is enabled yet with these drivers. I run my monitor at 1600x1200 though and am very happy with the quality. N4 I get around 60~70 frames/sec with all detail turned on. I'm looking forward to smoothvision but even without it I'm very pleased with the card. -Dave B PS: 8500, Tbird 1.4, 512Meg ram.

I thought the whole point of the 6.13.3281 drivers was that they did enable Smoothvision (FSAA).

I have been looking at the new ATI cards would you mind sending me a screen shot of N4 @ 1280 so I can compare it to what I see? Thanks MaDAWG

If you know of a place that sells them, and has them in stock, and not just on order, then please let me know. Thanks. -- Spadge Fromley ''collect your rubbsih and in my belly it will go ...''

I heard that CompUSA has them in stock. Of course, your mileage may vary.

I think he's running at too high of a resolution for FSAA to work, I thought it only worked up to a certain resolution with the Radeon cards anyways (?)
