New ATI Catalyst Available
It seems ATI is moving fast, and the version 8.2 of its Catalyst drivers arrived just as expected. This new version is available for Vista and XP, but no new drivers for Linux are available. Well, hopefully, one day, everyone will release drivers for Windows, Mac and Linux at the same time(disregard that, I was dreaming!)...
According to ATI, the new set of drivers comes with a large performance improvement for Company of Heroes - "DirectX 10 performance improves as much as 20% on the ATI Radeon HD 2000 Series and ATI Radeon HD 3000 Series of products.
DirectX 10 performance improves as much as 30% on CrossFire configurations using the ATI Radeon HD 2000 Series or ATI Radeon HD 3000 Series of products". What a pity, no improvement for the "ancient" DirectX 9 X1000 series...
The list of resolved issues includes various video corruption problems noticed in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, World of Warcraft, and even Doom 3. A serious problem with TianXia2 has been solved, so launching the game no longer results in the Windows XP operating system rebooting, while the strange white dot that appeared on the desktop when launching the Control Center doesn't appear anymore, but "this issue may still be experienced under the Windows XP operating system"(???!).
To download your version of the driver, simply go to this page, pick your OS, video card model, and then press the Go button... I am sure you know how to do it, so "Good luck!"...
