ATI Video Processing Upgrade · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by Zonk on Friday December 16, 2005 @05:53AM from the shinier-all-around dept.

An anonymous reader writes "FiringSquad has a hands-on look at ATI Catalyst 5.13 drivers for the Radeon X1800XL, with a focus on video quality. They say it's the greatest leap in video quality technology for ATI since the original Mach64-VT. They triple their HQV Benchmark DVD scores by adding diagonal filtering, unusual cadence detection, and even noise reduction. On top of the video quality improvements, the new drivers enable ATI's hardware H.264 support as well as hardware transcoding. Best of all, Catalyst 5.13 will be a free upgrade scheduled to be released to the public next week."

Welcome to 2005, I realize things must be strange for you considering you've been frozen since 1930...

More likely the submitter owns Sony PCs.

If you own a Sony computer (or a Mavica with an optical drive), don't lose your CDs!.
