ATI Catalyst 9.3 vs 9.2 Performance Test

We didn’t detect any noticeable performance improvement that would evidently exceed the measuring error acceptable for our testing methodology in any of the games except Lost Planet: Colonies. Nevertheless, we have to admit that once again ATI kept their promise: we did see performance growth where they promised we would. Just like during our previous test session last month the biggest performance improvement occurred for dual-processor ATI Radeon HD solutions, while classical single-GPU products benefited much less, especially in high and ultra-high resolutions. In other words, ATI driver developers are evidently focusing all their effort on making the best out of CrossFireX technology. In fact, it is not surprising at all, especially if we recall that the graphics division of Advanced Micro Devices bet big on this particular technology in the fight for title of the highest-performance 3D graphics solutions maker.
