ATI Performance-Treiber Catalyst 5.11 Final ist da

Montag, 14. Nov. 2005 05:25 - [jp] - Quelle:

Über ATIs Performance Treiber in der Beta-Version 5.10a hatten wir bereits berichtet. Dieser hatte OpenGL-Optimierungen an Bord, die beispielsweise in Doom3 für 35% mehr Geschwindigkeit sorgen sollten. Nun gibt es die Optimierungen im neuen offiziellen ATI Catalyst 5.11.

Wir müssen zugeben, dass wir die Veröffentlichung des Treibers fast verpasst hätten - erst steht seit dem Wochenende zum Download bereit. Zu den Spielen, die von den Bugfixes und Verbesserungen profitieren sollen, zählen Battlefield 2, Call of Duty, Doom 3, F.E.A.R. und Quake 4.

Der Download ist - je nach Variante - rund 25 oder 34 MB groß und steht für Windows XP und Windows 2000 bereit. Da das Changelog ist extrem lang ist, hier mal der Ausschnitt, der die meisten interessieren dürfte:
