ATI Driver Testing (By WildFire)

 Okay so I've had my doubts about the ATI Drivers lately, they seem to either bring new bugs or lessen performance, so I've done some tests today, it took about an hour or two to do all of these but I think the end result was worth it. Keep in mind these might not be the same results for you as I'm using an older 3 Series (3850, 3870, 3870 X2, etc) Video Card. In the next few months when OpenCL is supported more you'll want the Latest ATI drivers or at least 9.11 for OpenCL support for your GPU.

I tested 5 drivers but only the results between 9.9 and 9.11 will be displayed, all the other drivers suffered from reduced performance ( 7.12 / Omega Drivers, 9.3, 9.7 and 9.10)


Installation Method


Clean (ATI Software Free) Windows XP SP3
Install
Benchmarks
Restart in Safe Mode & Uninstall Old Drivers
Restart in Normal Windows & Install New Drivers
Reset
Benchmark

That's what I did for 4 different ATI Drivers (I only needed to know some of the recent benchmarks on the latest ATI Drivers) anyway here are my Results below. Also before you read the below I was only testing this for Source Engine Games, so don't get your hopes up about other games ever being tested by me, it takes to much damn time.


Games Tested

 
Team Fortress 2
Counter-Strike: Source
Half-Life 2
Left 4 Dead



ATI Drivers Version 9.9

No Caption Provided





ATI Drivers Version 9.11

No Caption Provided


Conclusion


Anyway you look at it, the 9.9 Drivers seem to have somewhat better FPS average but a difference of max being 4 - 5 FPS there isn't much difference, the testing rarely dropped below 60 FPS so none of this will make any difference for me. Thought I'd just share for you performance junkies that might want to test the different drivers yourselves. The 9.11 drivers seem to offer a more reliant FPS average as the large drops I saw with the 9.9 drivers are now either smaller dips or performance improvements, they both have there flaws and there both about even.
 
Higher Max FPS: 9.9 (by about 5 FPS)
Higher Min FPS: 9.9 (by about 3 FPS)
Best Average FPS: It's a tie, there's very little performance difference between these drivers, I'm going to use 9.11 though as it has added support for OpenCL.

PS: ATI Drivers v9.11 are currently in Beta Testing.


PPS: The 7.12 Drivers I used aren't direct from ATI they're known as Omega Drivers and had on average -20FPS difference (In CSS, -8 or so in TF2) when compared to 9.11, the 9.3 and 9.4 Drivers had equal performance and averaged -15FPS (-5 in TF2) difference when compared to 9.11, 9.10 had equal performance to 9.9, there wasn't really any changes in these drivers, just early OpenCL support which was pushed to 9.11 and minor performance increases for 5 Series Graphic Cards.

NS2 pre-alpha tools released!

Recently on Natural Selection 2's Website there was some news relating to the game's Map Editor / Creator, if you've pre-ordered Natural Selection 2 you can now gain full access to the Spark Editor, I'll continue to bring up-to-date news about this game over the next few months as I've personally ordered two copies of Natural Selection 2. 


Hey folks!

If you've pre-ordered NS2, you can now download the NS2 pre-alpha! This is not a playable version of the game but is our custom level editor and a fair amount of NS2 environment art. This is an early release of our technology that we wanted to get in your hands so mappers and more technical players can start playing around with it.

For the installer, some editor screenshots and some simple video tutorials, go here.

You'll need your NS2 pre-order game key to use the editor. If you haven't pre-ordered it and would like to, you can still do so here

We're looking forward to your feedback!

My Top 3 PC Games of 2007 / 2008

WildFires Top 3 PC Games

#3 Unreal Tournament 3
Game Trailer Review: http://www.gametrailers.c....html Launch Trailer: http://www.gametrailers.c....html



Reason: I have enjoyed Unreal Tournament 3 since I first picked it up, I have to say that this game is fantastic and that I have actually not played it in the PC (yet). I Can tell you that this game has some VERY cool innovations such as User Created maps on the PC version and the Playstation 3 version. Another cool feature is that it still has the twitch like gameplay from when it first started, I recommend buying this game!

#2 Crysis
Game Trailer Review: http://www.gametrailers.c....html Launch Trailer: http://www.gametrailers.c....html



Reason:I'm probably going to have a lot of mixed comments from the people who ACTUALLY read my blog because Crysis is loved by a lot of people and hated by and equal amount. First off Crysis is by far the best Graphics I have ever seen in any game and its sure to be future proof for hardware coming to us in 2008 and even 2009. Crysis is sure to please anyone with its graphics and its gameplay is very good but the only thing holding it back is the fact that if you want to run it at the highest resolution with DirectX 10 and all the settings on high you are going to need to take a second mortgage out on your house and install Windows Vista. My favorite part about Crysis is the Cloak and sneaking up and killing people.

#1 Team Fortress 2
Game Trailer Review: (There isn't one)


Launch Trailer: http://www.gametrailers.c...e=wmv



Reason: the reason I gave Team Fortress my number one spot is simple, Team Fortress 2 is one of the best games when it comes to online play, you can play with a maximum of 32 other players, There is built in voice chat (VIA Steam). My favorite part of Team Fortress 2 would have to be the class play, no matter what type of player you are there are many choices for which class you can be ranging from a Scout (The most agile and offensive power house on any team) to the Medic (The defenses main player).
The Achievement system is also very good, it adds a new set of goals to obtain while you are having fun playing the game. In future updates valve will be releasing achievements for each specific class. The first class to receive such an update will be the Medic who will receive 35 new achievements during an update that valve hasn't released a date for. Another nice feature of Team Fortress 2 like all Valve games is that users can create custom maps and can also make custom textures and custom sounds for increased user customizability. Note to mention that Team Fortress 2 is a true next generation game that offers gameplay on the PC and the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3!, I urge you to pick up one of the copies on your preferred system but my favorite would have to be the PC edition!

Enjoy this blog and continue to read my blog's as I add more.

WildFires Top FREEWARE programs!

WildFires Top Freeware Picks


There are literally millions of “Freeware” programs available on various websites but what do I “Cody” (xTalent) think are the best freeware programs?. Well I intend to answer that question by providing a list of my favorite freeware programs and maybe a brief description. Please feel free to download any of the programs I have listed as they're are Free-To-Use forever and and free to download. (They are also Virus Free), some of these you may agree with and some of them you may not but remember this is my opinion and based on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms I have the right to voice my opinion as long as its within the law and does not affect anyone or anything physically.

Definition of Freeware: “Software that is available for download and unlimited use without charge.“

Best Freeware



#1. Mozilla Firefox: (Web browser)

#2. Mozilla SongBird (Media Player)
URL: http://www.songbirdnest.com/
Songbird is developed by a band of experienced, dedicated software developers and designers called the Pioneers of the Inevitable. Our previous hatchlings include Winamp and the Yahoo! Music Engine. Songbird like any other application that is co-developed by Mozilla offers a lot of customizibility ranging from “Addons”, 'Themes / Feathers”, “Integrated Web Browser”, “Video Playback”, “Music Playback”. Even though its still in its beta stages its proving to be a big competitor for ITunes and Winamp, its my favorite media player out of every available choice.


#3. Open Office (Office programs)
URL: http://www.openoffice.org....html
OpenOffice.org the product is a multi-platform office productivity suite.

Available in over 65 supported languages with more being constantly added by the community, OpenOffice.org runs stably and natively on Solaris, Linux (including PPC Linux), Windows, Mac OS X (X11), and numerous other platforms. Our porting page lists the platforms (ports) that OpenOffice.org can run on.

#4. CCleaner (Computer Cleaning Tool)
URL: http://www.ccleaner.com/
CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history.

#5. Pidgin (Instant Messenger)

Okay back to blogging,
Game Description By VALVe
Team Fortress® 2 (TF2) is the sequel to the game that put class-based, multiplayer team warfare on the map. This year’s most anticipated online action game, TF2 delivers new gametypes, a signature art style powered by Valve’s next generation animation technology, persistent player statistics, and more.

Unlike other “class-based” games that offer a variety of combat classes only, Team Fortress 2 packs a wild variety of classes which provide a broad range of tactical abilities and personalities, and lend themselves to a variety of player skills.

Play as the flame-throwing Pyro, the room clearing Heavy, or the Spy, a master of disguises. Other classes include: Scout, Sniper, Medic, Engineer, Demoman, or Soldier.


TF2 features the most advanced graphics of any Source-based game released to date – and the most exciting class-based action ever created.

My Description / History
Team Fortress® 2 was developed and continuing to be developed by the VALVe corporation. The version of Team Fortress 2 that we currently are allowed to play & enjoy is currently the sequel to "Team Fortress Classic" a game which developed and to this day continues to develope the gaming term "Class Based Play", TFC (Team Fortress Classic) was originally supposed to be the second version of QuakeWorld Mod but the developers later joined VALVe and developed Team Fortress Classic. Team Fortress 2 is the next title in the series and offered class based gameplay in higher resolutions and better detail, the game though is not extremely popular with "Many" (Many, not all) Team Fortress Classic veterans as grenades have been removed and major tweeks to the gameplay which changed the game from a "Professionals Destroy" to a "Casual Gamers are good to" type of game but still Team Fortress 2 is bundled in the Orange Box so any lover of Half-Life 2: Episode 2 that purchased the orange box has this and most likely has played it at least once.

There are 9 classes in Team Fortress 2 which consist of,
Pyro - A flamethrower wielding maniac that is good at close range but gets increasingly hard to play as enemies farther and father away from him.

Heavy - The heavy is essentially the "Rambo" of Team Fortress 2, his gun has a clip of 200 ammo which requires no reloading time between shooting. He is very strong with both his fists and his guns but the shotgun he carries is lacking and "most" people will rarely use it.

Spy - The stealthiest of all the Team Fortress 2 classes uses disguises to sneak behind his enemy and backstab them with his "Instakill / 1 Shot Kill from behind" knife. He also has the ability to shoot using what looks like a Magnum revolver which is very powerful at close ranges but lacks the ability of far range combat. The spy can also "Cloak" for roughly 10 - 15 seconds which recharges while he's not using it.

Scout - Essentially this is the Intel (Flag) carrying class as he has the fastest foot movement in the game rated at Cl_forwardspeed / Backspeed / sidespeed of "450". The scouts weapons consist of a pistol, baseball bat, scattergun which are all good in there own ways and pared with his "Double Jumping" ability is a deadly combo when skilled with a "good" (And I mean good, none of that 9 - 1 good, 500 - 0 good) player.

Sniper - As his name implies he is the "Sniper" class which uses a sniper rifle, machete, machine gun (auto Sniper). He has the strongest critical strike when he's fully charged while scoped. A single fully charged sniper bullet can kill a heavy in one shot if he hits the heavies head. He is essentially a support class used for defending and pushes against the enemy defense, he's also the best character for long-range and I recommend playing him once in a while to experience some fun!

Medic - The medic is the main healing class of this game, in theory the medic is useless in most games but in Team Fortress 2 he has a Buzzsaw and a syringe-firing flechette gun and of course a "Medigun" aka that thing that heals you. He has the ability to use an "Ubercharge" which is usable after charging the uber meter by healing team mates.

Engineer - This is the best class in terms of defense in my opinion, he has a wrench which he can use as a weapon and also use to repair engineer built Sentries, Teleporters, Dispensers. The only actual gun he has is a shot gun which is weaker then the scouts scattergun. Building sentries is by far one of the best things to do in a Team Fortress game and has inspired other games to include an engineer type class which builds things.

Demoman - This class uses sticky bombs from his sticky bomb launcher and also has a grenade launcher which can shoot 4 grenades before being reloaded. He is the most explosive character in ANY game I have ever seen. If you like drunk Scottish people (thats his persona, a drunk scottish person) you will enjoy this class. He also uses a beer bottle with what looks like three black X's on the bottle to beat his enemies to death.

Soldier - This is one of the main offensive characters in Team Fortress 2, he has a rocket launcher, shot gun, shovel and has the ability to rocket jump which you can achieve by shooting a rocket at your feet while jumping at the exact moment the rocket explodes. He's the best class in terms of Speed Vs Firepower as all his weapons are effective.

Now you know a brief bit about the game and I hope you pick it up, the next section is just going to be screenshot's and maybe some text if I feel like writing.



Time for the Screenshots!

WildFire's Recommended FireFox Addons

Addons, An addon is a piece of coding that adds customized features or increases features in Firefox, these are my recommendations and most of them improve or customize firefox for the better.

Adblock Plus
Ever been annoyed by all those ads and banners on the internet that often take longer to download than everything else on the page? Install Adblock Plus now and get rid of them. Right-click on a banner and choose "Adblock" from the context menu - the banner won't be downloaded again. Maybe even replace parts of the banner address with star symbols to block similar banners as well. Or you select a filter subscription when Adblock Plus starts up the first time, then even this simple task will usually be unnecessary: the filter subscription will block most advertisements fully automatically.
Download URL: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865



Download Status Bar
View and manage downloads from a tidy statusbar - without the download window getting in the way of your web browsing. Despite its compact size, Download Statusbar packs in more useful features than the standard download window. The fully customizable interface auto-hides when not in use, allowing full control without interruption.
Download URL: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/26



IE Tab (Add's the ability to view "Internet Explorer" only pages in Mozilla Firefox)
IE Tab - an extension from Taiwan, features: Embedding Internet Explorer in tabs of Mozilla/Firefox... This is a great tool for web developers, since you can easily see how your web page displayed in IE with just one click and then switch back to Firefox.

Dynamic speed increases can be obtained with the unique prefetching mechanism, which recycles idle bandwidth by silently loading and caching all of the links on the page you are browsing.

Download URL: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1269
