| Take a look @ this: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/HD_5870_PCI-Express_Scaling/18.html I realize this is SoC, but if you compare the PCIex scaling to the other games in that article it would seem to suggest that there is indeed something odd about the xRay engine's scaling capabilities as it... |

| I hate to admit this given the forum, but I gave up last night on running this game in tri-screen goodness. I just couldn't find a good balance between eye-candy and performance. On top of that, the HUD drove me crazy. :-/ I do find it odd how poorly this engine scales to larger resolutions. The oth... |

Anyone else notice that you cannot use DX10 lighting at 5040+ res, like the old issue that was fixed months back? On nVidia (196.34) and Win7.
Good point, I thought the game looked flat; that's what it is. |

Looks like 10.3 could potentially bring very large performance improvements to either DX11 or DiRT2 in DX11 specifically...

| Holy cow, I'm seeing huge performance gains with the leaked 10.3 over 10.2 and 10.1 in DX11 DiRT2... My benchmark suite is still running but I'll post the numbers later. The performance in most other games tested is back to the levels of 10.1, as 10.2 was a minor hit for alot of older games... |

| Oh no! Quake 3 now runs at 800 fps instead of 842 fps! :lol: It's fun to compare with hardware from 10 years ago. I have Quake 2 in there too if you want that. :wink: Edit: and actually the reason I look at that stuff is because (and I'm no driver programmer) I suspect some of those things may spea... |

| I'm going to post this because after looking through I'm a little concerned about the performance loss on some older games. This is the biggest % drop I've seen from a driver release in awhile, but interestingly enough alot of the newer games performance is relatively untouched. I've used this scrip... |

| No issues here whatsoever; in fact this is one of the few games I can run at eyefinity resolution w/ 4x AA enabled comfortably. You've definitely got the system for it; I'm not sure what could be wrong... you're not enabling AA or ANISO via CP on top of it being enabled in-game are you? |
