    A little later than usual - both from my side and from AMD's - but still well within time, the Catalyst driver suite for AMDs Radeon line of graphics accelerators has been updated to version 11.3 WHQL. The OpenCL driver portion has been promoted to being an integral part of the standard driver package, thus being included in the standard download. AMD touts this as seamless GPU-Compute in their Release Notes for this catalyst driver (which I've also attached as archive in case their website structure is changed and breaks the link). If you really don't want it, you can deselect it in the custom installation procedure. Additionally, the former AMD Stream SDK now called AMD APP SDK for GPU-Computing has been moved to version 2.4. ...

    After both cats now out of the bag, to literally translate a german proverb, I wonder more and more what those cards, essentially Crossfire/SLI-on-a-stick, are really made for? My guess is one thing only: Get reviews for „the fastest graphics card” - well, Nvidia failed at it this time - and make that halo shine over their less powerfull products. My reasoning for this is as follows.

    Performance implications of the texture filtering optimizations in Catalyst 11.2 WHQL drivers on an HD 5870

    The Catalyst driver suite for AMDs Radeon line of graphics accelerators have been updated to version 11.2 WHQL. As promised, those bring quite a bit of change for the tech savvy of you: Morphological filtering for all DirectX 11 capable Radeon cards, Tessellation control at the users hands and a revamped texture optimization slider.

    The GF114 GPU on Geforce GTX 560 Ti is GF104B really

    Seems like Charlie D. was right after all - at least with regard to GF110 being really a GF100B. That's the impression you get when trying to flash a new BIOS onto your brand new Geforce GTX 580 with the BIOS flash tool called nvflash.exe.

    The „--list” command shows - surprise, surprise - a list of adapters, nvflash thinks are in the system. When you do this, however, the result is as follows:

    AMDs Catalyst software and driver suite has just been released in it's first 2011 incarnation called Catalyst 11.1. While there has been a hotfix driver available for some days (and still is), which brings new controls for tessellation levels and also revamps the texture filtering slider, which I have talked about already, these things are planned for official introduction in Catalyst 11.2 due sometime in february. The official WHQL'ed Catalyst 11.1 however does not incorporate these two things, but packs the new Catalyst Control Center for the first time officially. It's style seems more modern and it's usability is quite good.

    Catalyst 11.1a hotfix version numbering

    Yesterday, the first information went public on the internet that AMD is planning to introduce a new function into it's Catalyst driver suite, planned for a january 26th release according to ex-Catalystmaker Terry Makedon. Please see update below!

    The new function's simple name: Tessellation - one the most buzzy buzzwords about graphics technology in the past year and a half. It's function: Damage Control, or so you might think at the first glimpse at what it does. ...

    AMD Catalyst 10.12 Component Versions

    Just days before the actual release, the man in charge for Catalyst software at AMD announced the 10.12 version of AMDs Radeon drivers as being „huge”. And he didn't exxagerate. AMD has refurbished their Catalyst Control Center and re-done not only the looks of it - but it's still in a kind of advanced beta. Consequently, there's only an optional download including this new control panel. And it is huge. Around 110 Megabytes in fact, but they're for 32 and 64 Bit editions of Windows 7 and Vista respectively. Also, there's support for GPU acceleration in the latest version of Divx - but only for HD 6000 series and probably other AMD processors utilizing the UVD3 video processor.
