La nuova suite di driver introduce delle novità ed incrementi prestazionali, oltre che fix di bug presenti sulle precedenti versioni
AMD ha rilasciato ieri la suite di driver Catalyst 8.1 per schede video ATI Radeon.
Il supporto va dalle vecchie 9550 alla recentissima serie HD 3800 e sono da utilizzare in abbinamento ai sistemi operativi Windows XP e Windows Vista sia a 32bit che a 64bit.
I driver introducono varie ottimizzazioni in numerosi giochi, e per la prima volta implementano la tecnologia MultiView in abbinamento alle API OpenGL .
Questa nuova funzionalità in pratica permette quando si utilizzano più display di non avere degradi prestazionali nella grafica 3D nel passaggio dal display primario ai secondari.
Questo è l'elenco delle nuove features:
