ATi Catalyst Drivers 7.10 released
There’s some new Catalyst Drivers (7.10) at AMD’s site.. To begin with, the new catalyst driver will have Adaptive Anti-Aliasing enabled for Radeon X1000 series of graphics cards. This release of Catalystâ„¢ also introduces software CrossFireâ„¢ support for the ATI Radeonâ„¢ HD 2600 Series and ATI Radeonâ„¢ HD 2400 Series.
Also, one pretty important fix with this release of Catalyst drivers is the “CrossFire Undo”. There was an issue where CrossFire mode would disable on its own, even if everything was ok. Now, the drivers would detect if something is wrong with the CrossFire cable, and if everything is ok, Crossfire mode will be activated.
The following performance improvements are noticed with Catalystâ„¢ 7.10:
