Rennn Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Skyrim was running at 50-60 fps on high settings on an HD 6770.After a mysterious update, that same card can now run Skyrim on Ultra with 4X AA and AF, at the same framerate.Maybe AMD finished some new drivers and Steam put them in automatically? Has anyone else heard anything about AMD releasing new driver software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EirikurRaudi Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Steam won't ever update your video drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhardingame Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Steam won't ever update your video drivers. It can, if you tell it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rennn Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) Yes they will. Link: http://blogs.amd.com/play/2010/09/14/video-driver-updates-made-easy-amd-and-valve-team-up-to-provide-ati-catalyst-updates-on-steam/ They don't do it with Nvidia cards (which is what mine is), but they partnered with AMD for it. (We're not talking about my card here; it's another person's HD 6770) Edited November 21, 2011 by Rennn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rennn Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Any other ideas why a budget video card can suddenly run Skyrim smoothly on ultra, when it couldn't before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
