There you go. Title says all really, it gave me +10 fps in Quake 4, which rocks pretty hard. It'll give you big boosts in Doom3 and other OpenGL games too. Hurrah! :D

A little late, I'd say. But still, impressive. There might be a patch you can get or something Jord.

So are ATi quite close to being even with Nvidea on open gl games now?

Games made specifically for nvidia cards (like q4 and d3) use a special technique that nVidia cards can do much better than ATI, simply because the cards were meant to do that well. It involves drawing pixels without a z-axis or something, I'm a bit vague on the details.

No, ATI isn't on par with nvidia in OpenGL, but this hotfix sure helps :heh:
