ATI has released an update to its Catalyst Display Drivers. Highlighted here are the more important bug fixes and feature improvements. For a full list please refer to the release notes.
Most notable fixes and improvements:
- 3DMark2006 overall performance improves 6.7-23.7% with anti-aliasing enabled due to improvements in HyperZ efficiency on the Radeon X1300, X1600 and X1800 series of products. The largest gains can be seen on Crossfire configurations and/or 256MB card configurations at resolutions of 1280x1024 or greater
- Doom3 performances improves up to 9.3% due to further OpenGL shader complier and transform engine optimizations on the entire Radeon X1000 Series of products. The largest gains can be seen on Radeon X1900 configurations at resolutions of 1600x1200 or higher
- Desperados 2: Attempting to play the game with CrossFire enabled no longer results in the game failing to launch and an error message being displayed.
- Doom3: Enabling both CrossFire and Temporal AA no longer results in a ghosting effect being noticed when playing the game.
