ATI should focus in the future as the highest priority for Catalyst

vote and discuss !

as for me improved performance,providing this does not compromise image quality.

There's only so far you can much the performance barrier with existing hardware, I think they should work on fixing bugs and producing a better all round experience for more users. Not many people have the graphics drivers as the deciding bottleneck in their system. I think bugs would be a better focus.

I don't mind lower IQ if it's invisible to the naked eye like brilinear... Just more perfomance

Bug fixes should always come first imo.

I think they should be working on all of those points, perhaps a more detailed 3d preview that users can see the difference between the settings they choose easily... as for skins I couldn't careless so long as it doesn't hog memory and look shit

Guys I think you may be misinterpreting the "more performance" option.

What we were interested in is the "more performance" of CCC. I.E. CCC loads up faster, changes options on the slider faster, loads skins faster.

It does not mean "more performance" as in the FPS sense, or faster benchmarks.

Maybe Zardon can clarify in the options that it should be implyied "faster CCC performance (not faster benchmark/game performance)"

ahhh can you change my vote from more performance to bugfixes then please i really dont like the CCC

done

Bug fixes is a priority, especially with the whole PunkBuster issue which I've verified myself

If I could rank the priorities, the next thing would be the CCC's performance.

Sandok · Oct 19, 2004, 01:38 PM

I still stick with my vote for performance... I mean, wether games or CCC... Needs to always be better... AND CCC MUST RUN IN SAFE MODE!!!

tell you what id really like, but not sure how possible it would be. if the cats could somehow monitor framerate when using D3D or OGL and when fps goes below say 35 that it automatically reduces the quality settings. for us who have older cards its sort of pointless putting on antialiasing in new games, even when in some scenes it could run ok, but just others it would be unplayable. if the drivers could turn off aa (or perhaps lower texture detail although i guess this probably couldnt be done without reloading the level) without the gameplay being affected so you could get continuous gameplay then that'd be really cool. erm, does that make sense? anyway, i love my card and have done since i bought it with virtually no problems no matter what i do to it, so the driver team must be doing something right, anyway, to the poll:

dont use CCC as im perfectly happy with the normal control panel and never felt like changing, have broadband so size aint a problem, 3D previews - a CCC thing again, bug fixes - well never have anu issues i need fixing anyway (guess im lucky) so it has to be more features i guess ;-)

Fixing bugs should always be the first priority as some bugs have, in the past, made games unplayable. As for the CCC i would like to be given the option to take the preview out as that would speed things up enormously.

I want it to be bug free first. Next I want new features as well as over all great performance from drivers. As far as CCC performance of the tool itself. It's not so big an issue. If it offers good features, I should be able to set it and forget it, so being a bit slow in the GUI doesn't bother me. I'm really hooked on the radlinker way of doing things, and I want custom video settings per application.
