Catalyst 9.11 steht zum Download bereit

Zum einen machte der "CatalystMaker" Andeutungen, zum anderen gab AMD heute offiziell bekannt, dass die ATI Stream Technologie die Beta-Version des Flash Player 10.1 beschleunigt. Dafür benötigt man jedoch nicht nur die passende Hardware, sondern eben auch den Catalyst 9.11.

Außerdem wurde beim ATI Video Converter eine Verbesserung beim Downscaling von interlaced Full HD Videomaterial zu progressive Video in geringer Auflösung hinzugefügt.
