10.6.3 Graphics update?

Hi,

I'm fortunate to have the 4870 and the 285 graphic cards. The 285 was a disappointment for a long time, I didn't think it outperformed the 4870 overall and was upset by that. Now since the 10.6.3 update, I think the 285's performance has risen. Not by a lot, but some. I didn't notice a performance increase for the 4870, but it may be there as well.

I was just wondering if anyone else with either of these cards has notified a performance increase after updating to 10.6.3.

Thanks

Hi!

I just can say one thing:

The 4870 in the 10.6.3 is more responsive in every aspect of system interface... more fluid, you know.

Better Frames in 3D? No

Better Video Performance? No

The 10.6.4 seems to have more and more graphic tweaks.

Regards,
Pierre
