Quake 4 performance

Notes

Once again we’re seeing some pretty substantial gains with the new hotfix driver. At 800x600x32 the X1800 XT saw a performance improvement of 31%, while the performance of the XL board improved by 32% at the same resolution. This is pretty big news folks.

At 1600x1200, we saw even greater gains with our custom Quake 4 demo. The RADEON X1800 XT’s performance improved by 36%! The RADEON X1800 XL saw an improvement of 32%. Again, gains like this aren’t normally seen in one graphics driver update – it’s practically like getting a new graphics card!
