Performance Increase for AMD Radeon Users



AMD just released a driver update - 12.1. This new update increases performance in several games including Star Wars: The Old Republic, as well as improving their new card that they just released: HD 7970.

I am on a Crossfire setup with 5870 x2. After patch 1.1 came out for some reason my performance dropped big time. I would watch my fps go from 100 down to a steady 30-20 and be almost unplayable in certain areas of the game. Once the fps dropped it would never go back up again. With this driver update I am now at a steady 50-60 fps...where it should be with crossfire.

So if you are having bad framerates and are running AMD Radeon cards, I am sure you will get big performance gains.
