"The small scale of frames with quad core CPU and ATI video cards will be resolved in early 2009 with new driver Catalyst"
In recent days we have noted, with this news, as the debut of ATI Catalyst 8.12 drivers will be provided with cards of the series Radeon HD 4000, full support for ATI Stream, which you can use these cards for video processing of GPU Computing.
A first concrete step will be available, free of charge, software ATI Aviv Converter, with which you can perform transcoding of video streams in different formats relief processor system from this type of processing.
One element in which ATI has yet to implement various optimizations driver architecture to support quad core processor in the games, unlike NVIDIA switching from a dual core processor to a quad core, using the API DirectX 10, does not allow to achieve performance gains. The DirectX 10 API allow it to handle multithreading mode all operations related to the transfer of data between the CPU and driver Direct 3D, so that this happens is obviously a need for optimization side driver.
The presence of a quad core processor is not responsible course of a performance increase in every type of use. We are obviously talking about the conditions in which the frames per second generated by a video are limited by processor power processor, not the video card. Some titles have been optimized by manufacturers to exploit the presence of more than 2 core processor, but i
