AMD recently released Catalyst 11.11a Performance Driver that improves performance for a few titles: Battlefield 3, RAGE, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Batman: Arkham City. I haven’t included RAGE in this comparison simply because it is full of bugs, glitches and issues that will never get fixed. Games Tested and Settings Aliens vs Predator: ...

Don’t get your hopes up, this month’s AMD Catalyst release doesn’t seem to improve performance with any title. AMD Catalyst 11.11 only fixes some issues with some old games like: Lost Planet 2, Black Ops, Portal 2, Far Cry 2, Homefront. It also fixes corrupted images and textures in Rage.

Yesterday when the new AMD Catalyst 11.10 drivers were officially released I was a bit concerned to see that the OpenGL driver version was actually lower than in the Preview Version 3 (6.14.10.11299 vs 6.14.10.11161). This might affect performance with RAGE (which I didn’t include in this comparison because of different technical issues I encountered). ...

All major game reviewers gave Battlefield 3 huge scores, it averages above 9.0, at least for PC. Battlefield 3 really takes first persons shooters to another level, just like Crysis did back in 2007. DICE hit the jackpot with the new Frostbite 2 game engine, almost everything about the game feels and looks great. I’m ...

Most people think that you only need a good graphics card to get high performance in a 2011 game, this is neither true or false. Most developers split the computational requirements for a game between the CPU and the GPU and when they fail to find the right balance gamers suffer. We’ve seen very anticipated ...
