bkny1055 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 What will the callisto drivers improve on my ATI9800PRO that’s already has Quartz Extreme, Core Image and OpenGL working ? Should it improve my game play cause games are very sluggish now ? And if not what can i do to improve my game play in Call of Duty and other games Any help will be appreciated Hardware Overview: Display: Type: VGA-Compatible Controller Bus: PCI VRAM (Total): 128 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x4e48 Revision ID: 0x0000 Displays: Display: Resolution: 1024 x 768 Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Supported Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported Machine Name: Machine Model: ADP2,1 CPU Type: Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU Number Of CPUs: 2 CPU Speed: 3.6 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB CPU Features: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH DS ACPI MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 SS HTT TM EST Memory: 1.5 GB Bus Speed: 3.2 GHz Boot ROM Version: A05 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27932-question-about-callisto-drivers-and-ati-cards/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkny1055 Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 so these Callisto drivers are just ment to give you Quartz Extreme, Core Image and OpenGL is that right, along with resolution but do nothing for game play improvement Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27932-question-about-callisto-drivers-and-ati-cards/#findComment-191356 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Johnson Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 No. Omni's Callisto drivers provide a Framebuffer (resolution changing), but not QE, CI, or OpenGL. You can however link Apple's QE/etc. libraries to the Callisto Framebuffer and then you get everything. Slow games are probably a slow processor...I don't really know. Honestly, somebody tell Omni to release the source if he's not going to develop them....

bkny1055 Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 i can live with the resolution but what i cant live with is the slow game play, i have a P4 2.4 HT 800 in there now, maybe i will swap it out with my P4 3.0 HT 800 and see what happens, something has to give, Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27932-question-about-callisto-drivers-and-ati-cards/#findComment-191374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
