|
|
The recently released ATI Catalyst™ Control Center 8.8 has some new Avivo video features that seem interesting:
"1) Dynamic Gamma/Contrast correction, available on the ATI Radeon™ HD 4800 Series, improves video image quality by delivering more vivid color in content with sharp contrasts and scenes with low and bright images.
2) Improved video presets, available for the ATI Radeon™ HD 3000 and ATI Radeon™ 4800 Series, delivers a newly optimized video presets that users can select depending on what kind of video content they are viewing.
3) Windows XP support: Edge enhancement, which adjusts the level of sharpness of video content and Noise Reduction, which removes ghosting artifacts while preserving details of the original video. "
Has anybody here some experience with these, especially the first one?
I am considering to upgrade my video card, I wonder if it is worth moving to 48xx..
Thanks,
Pier

I wouldn't think any of those would be useful for HTPC use. Anything that says, "vivid" means "We made everything more saturated".
