ATI Boot Camp specific drivers.
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008 - 12:33pm
I'm not sure when they were released, but I just installed the Boot Camp specific drivers from ATI. You can find them on ATI's website by scrolling clear to the bottom of the platform list. They're not lumped in with the Windows drivers.
My performance has skyrocketed. It's crazy. I use a 20" iMac at work and I have Steam installed. I used to run Portal with the settings toned way down, and now I have everything maxed but AA, and that's still at 4X. I highly recommend the install if you game in Boot Camp.
Fast Fact: If the number of zombie hunters world-wide were to decrease just 1.3% in the next year, the world would see a 50% rate of zombification by 2015.
Someone explain Boot Camp to me. I thought the idea was an easy way to install and boot directly into Windows on a Mac running Intel hardware, bypassing the Mac environment altogether (like a pure dual-boot system).
If it's just Windows running on Intel hardware that happens to be in an Apple box, it shouldn't behave any differently from Windows on any other Intel-based hardware.
But clearly that isn't the case. So there's some aspect to this I'm missing. Is Windows running on top of some low-level Boot Camp software layer?
The last Mac I owned was a 12" G4 Powerbook (but I've got a new Intel MacBook on its way!).
EDIT: EFI BIOS emulation. Duh. Nevermind, excuse my brainlessness.
