fonte:expreviewAMD Catalyst 8.8 released a week ago, and according to our test result, some DirectX title game have a big improvement, but in Furmark test the driver shows up a negative result… FPS lower a lot, and GPU temperature is lowered. But things did not happen in OpenGL title Quake War.After we posted HD 4870 PCS+ issue check , many of you give valuable comments, thank you.Our reader Kazarang hinted that if rename furmark.exe to other stuff, then Furmark will become normal again.
So we give it a try:
Test platformTest form
CPU: Intel Core 2 QX9650 OC 400MHzX10Mobo: Asustek Extreme Maximus
GFX card: AMD Radeon HD4850 reference-boardDriver: Catalyst 8.8
OS: Windows VistaSoftware: FurMark V1.4.0 (default: 1280X1024 NoAA)
Just like Kazarang said, when we renamed Furmark.exe, and benchmark result return to normal status, default benchmark numbers raises from 2329 to 4361, core temperature and power consumption also raises.J
Whats more, we tried rename Quake War ’s executable to furmark, and saw performance drop from 141.3FPS to 93.7FPS.
In our opinions when GPU makers "optimize" their driver, they just tried to let games or benchmarks runs better.
But now it seems ATI driver team adds a "profile" for furmark, make it run slower, and dont burn GPU anymore.why they are doing this?
andava ja a algum tempo a ver estes desenvolvimentos acerca dos problemas que as hd4800
porque estava a pensar em ir buscar uma hd4870 pcs+ que me parecia uma boa aposta por ter um cooler aftermarket mas parece que é ainda pior
estava a espera que a ati lança-se uma solução que resolve-se o problema mas na minha opinião esta nao foi a melhor...
