ATI Catalyst 8.12 już do pobrania ...

Mamy dziś jedenasty dzień grudnia, a AMD przygotowało już nową paczkę sterowników dla posiadaczy kart graficznych Radeon. ATI Catalyst 8.12 to ważne wydarzenie w firmie, bo wprowadza obsługę technologii ATI Stream i ATI AVIVO Video Converter, a dodatkowo dość mocno zwiększa wydajność Radeonów w grach 3D. I tak dla przykładu: (dane dotyczą głównie kart serii HD 4800)
- 3DMark Vantage DX10 - wzrost wydajności o 5% dla układów pojedynczych i CrossFire
- Call of Duty: World at War DX9 - do 21% (Single i Crossfire)
- Crysis DX10 - do 25% (Single i Crossfire)
- Crysis Warhead DX10 - do 13% (Single) / 16% (Crossfire)
- Fallout 3 - do 15% (Single)
- Far Cry 2 DX10 - do 10% (Single) / do 57% w Crossfire
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky - do 10% w Crossfire
- Unreal Tournament 3 DX9 - do 18% (Single) / do 15% w Crossfire
