AMD Releases January Catalyst Video Drivers, New Control Center
AMD announced today that it has launched its Catalyst 11.one video clip drivers for both Windows and Linux platforms, in addition to the Catalyst 11.one hotfix driver.
Chief among the changes within the Windows version this time about is really a new version of the Catalyst Manage Center software that accompanies the driver. It offers easier and much more intuitive controls throughout; and more available settings for adjusting image quality inside video games, establishing several displays using cards that assistance AMD’s Eyefinity multimonitor technologies, and alter power settings to improve battery life in laptop computer PCs. It offers two distinctive views, for both advanced and starting customers, and will dynamically update its user interface according to what AMD hardware you have installed.
Assistance for OpenGL four.one can also be within the Windows edition, with new functions that include full compatibility with OpenGL ES two.0 APIs (for simpler porting in between desktop and cellular platforms), the capability to question and load a binary for shader program objects (to decrease recompilation time), the capability to bind programs individually to programmable stages (thus enhancing programming flexibility), several viewports for a rendering surface, and 64-bit floating-point component vertex shader inputs to increase geometric precision.
Efficiency enhancements have occurred as well, in F1 2010 (for systems with single AMD Radeon HD 5800- or 6000-series cards operating without anisotropic filtering and anti-aliasing enabled), and Left 4 Dead 2 (for systems with single or multicard setups with 6800-series cards or single 6900-series cards and no anisotropic filtering or anti-aliasing).
Additionally to OpenGL four.one support, the Linux edition of the Catalyst 11.1 driver also introduces support for that production edition of RHEL six or even the early-look version of RHEL five.six.
The 11.1a hotfix driver improves performance for Radeon HD 6800- and 6900-series cards in a number of applications, adds tessellation controls towards the Catalyst Control Center, and updates Catalyst AI texture filtering for each the Quality and Performance settings.
