- Post a comment ATI Catalyst 10.2 drivers are now
out! The Catalyst 10.2 drivers support Windows 7 64-bit and 32-bit,
Windows Vista 64-bit and 32-bit and Windows XP 64-bit and 32-bit.
Key features of ATI Catalyst graphics drivers, version 10.2:
* Better game performance, sooner: Game profiles help
optimize performance so that gamers get an amazing experience. AMD is
focusing its efforts to provide access to game profiles when a new game
launches – often on the day of launch - and AMD plans to post
a separate executable file on AMD.com that users can install to get
access to the latest application profiles for improved performance.
* More powerful panoramic gaming with ATI
CrossFireX™ technology: Fans of ATI CrossFireX™
multi-GPU technology can now take advantage of the additional graphics
horsepower to help increase game performance or image quality settings
when using ATI Eyefinity multi-display technology.1
Key features of ATI Catalyst graphics drivers, version 10.3,
scheduled for release in March, 2010:
* Monthly updates for the mobile crowd: Starting in March,
AMD plans to issue stability, performance and feature enhancements in
monthly ATI Catalyst™ driver updates for Windows® 7
and Windows Vista™-based notebooks that feature ATI Mobility
Radeon™ HD 2000, HD 3000, HD 4000 and HD 5000 series premium
graphics processors. AMD is working closely with most major notebook
manufacturers to ensure broad support for this initiative.
* ATI Eyefinity technology, made better: To further enhance
the immersive visual experience of ATI Eyefinity technology, users will
now have access to an easy-to-use wizard that will allow them to adjust
their display layout to compensate for monitor bezels. In addition,
users will be able to adjust the brightness, color and contrast for
each individual monitor for greater customization and calibration of
each screen in their ATI Eyefinity set-up.1
* Enabling the 3D ecosystem: AMD is enabling third-party
middleware vendors to bring more 3D stereoscopic gaming options to
consumers by allowing for independent left and right images at 120 Hz.
