Super Sampling Anti-Aliasing and Adaptive Anti-Aliasing Preview support for DirectX® 10 and DirectX® 11 applications


AMD Radeon™ HD 7900 users can now enable Super Sample Anti-Aliasing and Adaptive Anti-Aliasing through the AMD Catalyst™ Control Center for DirectX® 10 and DirectX® 11 applications.
Applications must support in game Anti-Aliasing for the feature to work (Forced on Anti-Aliasing through the Catalyst™ Control Center is not supported for DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 applications)


Performance highlights of the 8.921.2 RC11 AMD Radeon™ HD 7900 driver


8% (up to) performance improvement in Aliens vs. Predator
15% (up to) performance improvement in Battleforge with Anti-Aliasing enabled
3% (up to) performance improvement in Battlefield 3
3% (up to) performance improvement in Crysis 2
6% (up to) performance improvement in Crysis Warhead
10% (up to) performance improvement in F1 2010
5% (up to) performance improvement in Unigine with Anti-Aliasing enabled
250% (up to) performance improvement in TessMark (OpenGL) when set to “insane” levels


Resolved issues: highlights of the 8.921.2 RC11 AMD Radeon™ HD 7900 driver


Folding@Home: intermittent stability issues have been resolved for the OpenCL version of Folding@Home
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 no longer experiences minor flickering with Tri CrossFireX™ configurations
Dragon Age 2 no longer experiences minor flickering with Tri CrossFireX™ configurations
StarCraft 2 no longer encounters issues when quitting campaign with Tri and Quad CrossFireX™ configurations
BattleForge stability has been improved with Tri CrossFireX™ configurations
Improved stability when enabling / disabling CrossFireX™ and installing the AMD graphics driver on AMD CrossfireX™ configurations



Edit: Es sieht so aus, dass immernoch der alte Treiber (http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/radeon-7900-series.aspx) verlinkt ist!

Edit 2: Jetz scheint alles richtig zu sein.

Haben sie nur die Tessellationsperformance in Tessmark gefixed oder allgemein für OpenGL?

Hehe, da hat jemand meinen Beitrag kopiert, da wird sich Sephi freuen. ;D

Der Treiber unterstützt nur die DX11-Radeons.

Ach, warum glaube ich, dass es weiterhin kein AAA unter DX10 für ältere Grafikkarten geben wird?

Siehe edit von oben. Unterstützt werden alle Grafikkarten ab R600.

Also alle, die den 12.1a haben, werden sich freuen, wenn sie diesen Treiber ohne Deinstallation installieren.

Build ist von gestern.

Yep. Der wird in den HD-7970- und SSAA-Freds im Grafikchip-Unterforum schon ausgiebig beredet, weil er Supersample-AA unter DX10+ (http://www.pcgameshardware.de/aid,864755/Radeon-HD-7900-Offizielle-Supersampling-Kantenglaettung-fuer-DirectX-11-und-DirectX-10-Jetzt-mit-korrektem-Download/Grafikkarte/Download/) bringt.

Threads merged.

Wieso haben die nicht den 8.93 genutzt?! Erscheint mir sinnfrei den 12.12 weiter zu entwickeln.

Die HD6970 legt in Tessmark richtig zu. Die Frage ist: Warum?


UPDATE (2012.01.24): I received some explanations from AMD: the performance improvement in tessellation is generic for applications with large tessellation factors (read greater than 16, the max being 64) but is not necessarily optimal for more reasonnable settings (like X8). That’s why AMD decided to enable the performance improvement on a per application basis.

I added a score with TessMark renamed in toto.exe to show the difference between the performance improvement enabled and disabled.
