New Parhelia Drivers!

[WyWyWyWy]

Some changes I found....

1. Use OpenGL Overlay
2. Change DVDMax source from one to another by hotkey
3. App specific desktop management

16x antialiasing "lines" still ain't fixed yet.

[Haig]

But what does 'dual stream for dvd max' mean exactly?

If you have 2 video windows open, you can switch between both windows to decide which one gets outputted to dvdmax.

In the release notes, you'll also find reference to a new utility called Monitor Manager. This will get released shortly in our utilities section where you can tweak/customize your monitor profile.

More than 3 times faster (using pcmark 2002 video bench)

3DMark03 seems no better. Even if the new drivers do feel faster

Need to try an overclocked score later.

Release notes will be posted later today or tomorrow according to Haig:

[chr_79]

Could anyone bench ut2003 with the new drivers ?

A parhelia user have posted this on Matrox Gaming forum:

UT2k3 in 1024x768:
Driver 1.3:
Flyby: 123 | Botmatch: 69

Driver 1.4:
Flyby: 84 | Botmatch: 43

Huge DM Improvement!

If you download the Displacement Mapping demo mentioned on beyond3D - http://users.belgacom.net/xvox/ the new drivers jump to around 35fps as opposed to 5fps with the previous set!

Seems pretty good to me!

Don't think so but you can try 1-800-mbuynow and see if they'll make an exception

BTW, the problems with combustion that I mentioned to you a while ago are also fixed.
