A worthy review... all the catylists from 3.0 onwards compared.

And the best thing is:
No reduction in image quality in any of them and seemingly a consistant performance increase from 3.0 to 3.7.

Very interesting. I only looked @ UT2K3, and I noticed that in this game (perhaps others too) that the Catalyst drivers mostly helped with Full Scene Anti-Aliasing combined with 16x Ansiotropic Filtering performance. There is almost no performance hit between having FSAA & AF crank up on full even when compared to "standards setting" on the new catalyst drivers.

My OS features preemptive multitasking, a fully interactive command line, & support for 640K of RAM!

I have taken the liberty of posting the babel translated link. if you want the original (in German), just remove the babel stuff.

I think it's that missing RAM, or the misspelled logo on you board.
Here, try <A HREF="http://www.matrox.com/mga/support/drivers/latest/home.cfm" target="_new">THESE</A> they may help you get the best picture quality and best AA. :tongue:
