AMD har nu släppt lös sin sjunde grafikkortsdrivrutin för året och Catalyst 10.7 kommer med både vissa nya funktioner samt prestandaförbättringar och buggfixar. Bland annat hittar vi stöd för acceleration av H.264 video i mediaspelaren VLC 1.1.1.

AMD har i övrigt förbättrat prestandan i spelet Borderlands, som alltid föredragit NVIDIA-grafikkort, med upp till 8% när man använder ett grafikkort ur Radeon HD 5000-serien.

En summering av nyheterna i drivrutinen finns här nedan;

ATI Eyefinity – HydraVision enhancements

  • Maximizing a window across displays will now take user defined bezel compensation into account
  • Automatically adjusts window position when dragging and dropping windows to ensure title bar visibility
  • Proper dialog box placement – dialogs do not cross displays, are not hidden behind bezels, and can be designated to be shown on the users “preferred” display

Enhanced Pull-down detection

  • The Pull-down detection algorithm has been enhanced for higher visual quality on certain types of video content
  • Supported on the ATI Radeon HD 5000 Series


ATI CrossFireX technology – support for rotated displays

  • This release of ATI Catalyst™ enables end users running supported ATI CrossFireX™ configurations to rotate their displays (single or ATI Eyefinity display configurations) and still enjoy the performance benefits of ATI CrossFireX technology


ATI Radeon GPU acceleration of VLC 1.1.1 Media Player

  • Enables GPU acceleration of h.264 video content when using the VLC 1.1.1 Media Player – delivering a better user experience by consuming less system resources
  • Supported on the ATI Radeon™ HD 5000 and ATI Radeon™ HD 4000 Series of products
  • Requires VLC version 1.1.1 and later
