Цитата: New Features: OpenGL™ 3.1 extension support • Support for OpenGL Shading Language 1.30 and 1.40 • Instanced rendering with a per-instance counter accessible to vertex shaders (GL ARB draw instanced) • Data copying between buffer objects (GL EXT copy buffer) • Primitive restart (NV primitive restart). Because client enable/disable no longer exists in OpenGL 3.1, the PRIMITIVE RESTART state has become server state, unlike the NV extension where it is client state. As a result, the numeric values assigned to PRIMITIVE RESTART and PRIMITIVE RESTART INDEX differ from the NV versions of those tokens • At least 16 texture image units must be accessible to vertex shaders, in addition to the 16 already guaranteed to be accessible to fragment shaders • Texture buffer objects (GL ARB texture buffer object) • Rectangular textures (GL ARB texture rectangle) • Uniform buffer objects (GL ARB uniform buffer object) • SNORM texture component formats Performance Improvements: The following performance gains are noticed with this release of Catalyst™ 9.8: • Battleforge DirectX 10/DirectX 10.1 - performance improves up to 15-50% in CPU limited settings with the largest gains in CrossfireX configurations • Company of Heroes DirectX 10 - performance improves by up to 10-77% in CPU limited settings • Crysis DirectX 10 - Dual CrossfireX performance improves as much as 10% and Quad CrossfireX performance improves as much as 34% in CPU limited settings • Crysis Warhead DirectX 10 - Dual CrossfireX performance improves as much as 7% and Quad CrossfireX performance improves as much as 69% in CPU limited settings • Far Cry 2 DirectX 10 - Dual CrossfireX performance improves as much as 50% and Quad CrossfireX performance improves as much as 88% in CPU limited settings • Tom Clancys H.A.W.X. DirectX 10/DirectX 10.1 - Dual CrossfireX performance improves up to 40% in CPU limited settings with Quad CrossfireX performance improving up to 60% in CPU limited settings • UnigineTropics OpenGL - performance improves 5-20% • UnigineTropics DirectX 10 - Quad CrossfireX performance improves 5-20% in CPU limited settings • World in Conflict DirectX 10 - performance improves by 5-10% Resolved Issues for All Windows Operating System: This section provides information on resolved issues in this release of the ATI Catalyst™ Software Suite for all Windows OS.
