Mac ATI Radeon video card issues revisited


Recommended Posts

(Starting a new topic because I'm too lazy to

drill down and find the original thread...)

ATI just released a second October driver update.

It doesn't help with the opaque smoke problem.

However, I'm sticking with the Radeon 8500 Mac

Edition because, other than the smoke issue, it's

doing a pretty good job. Performance and texture

quality are both fine. I now play with "fast,

compatible smoke" and while it's not great, it's

playable. If you're used to the fast, compatible

smoke and want to improve your framerate and get

the 64MB of texture memory the Radeon offers,

this could be a good solution for you. And who

knows, maybe someday ATI will actually fix the

problem. YMMV.
