zer0point Catalyst 0.54 (beta)

Windows 2000/XP (Modified Catalyst driver) This is a Public preview of the work we are doing on the DHzer0point ATI drivers, there are bound to be a few bugs we've yet to discover, however, overall we're very happy with the state of our project and wanted the community to be able to get a hold of them as well.

Included in the DHzer0point ATI release are two additional programs, Radclocker publicly available version. This version does not support the newer PCI/e boards so if you have one of those we're sorry however we are working with ChrisW to get an updated release with that support for our next release. Also included in the release is zackensaks Glidewrapper, a utility for using Glide, to play the older games they were meant to be played. Also included are, of course, the DHzer0point Game specific Enhancements for HL2, CSS, FarCry and Doom3.

Fastwrites are on by default unless you have them turned off in your BIOS. These drivers are built around quality, first, last and always; if you're going to bitch about your 3dmarks going down slightly don't bother. That said HL2 and CSS currently take a larger than normal performance hit, most notably on older cards, due to the increased quality in the set. We are working on resolving this issue. However this can be limited in great part simply by turning down AF and or AA one or 2 levels, if you're used to 8x AF try 4x.
