AMD releases ATI Catalyst update
Tweaks galore

AMD's ATI division has released the latest version of its Catalyst drivers package, implementing the usual array of tweaks to boost game framerates and benchmark scores: gains of 6.7-15.8 per cent can be seen in 3DMark06 and 9.7-10.5 per cent in 3DMark05, the company claimed.

ATI also pointed to a speed boost for folk doing CrossFire on Intel 965 chipset-based mobos, and the addition of high-dynamic range anti-aliasing for The Elder Scrolls Oblivion.

Catalyst 6.10 for Windows also now officially supports the version of Stanford University’s Folding@Home protein-folding modelling application that can offload tasks from the CPU to the GPU.

The Linux version of Catalyst 6.10, version 8.30.3, incorporates a number of bug fixes for TV playback related issues.

Both versions of the driver package can be found here. < Linky

Re: AMD releases ATI Catalyst update

Anyone else having issues with 6.10? First I noticed my XP started going mega slow after the restart (after installing). Intially thought maybe my HD was on the rocks. Wouldnt even boot tonite for a few hours, just got stuck in an auto-reboot loop after the boot selection menu.

So I took out my ram, blew it off and reinstalled...no avail. Looped for another 45 minutes. So next I turned down the clock on my CPU but still looped. Finally now got back to Windows (where Im typing from now) but not sure what gave in. Got the usual "Windows has recovered from blah blah" and now seems to be running ok.

Just curious if anyone else is having similar problems....might roll back to 6.9 for now.
