DirectX 10 driver support for the Radeon™ HD 2900 XT (single card and CrossFire™ configurations) for Windows Vista

This release of Catalyst™ introduces the ATI DirectX 10 driver for the Radeon™ HD 2900 XT, for both single cards and CrossFire™ configurations. The ATI DirectX 10 driver used in combination with the Radeon™ HD 2900 XT (and an application designed to take advantage of the power of the DirectX 10 API) delivers incredible graphics effects never seen before on the PC.

Second Generation ATI Theater™ 650

This release of Catalyst™ introduces the second generation ATI Theater™ 650. This product will provide support for the new MCE 2006 requirements such as DRM support. Further, it will include features to support ATI All-In-Wonder products. It will also provide improved TV quality and Broadcast Flag support which enables full US terrestrial DTV support.

Performance Improvements

OpenGL performance is improved on the ATI Radeon™ X1950 XTX at high resolutions (1920x1200 or greater) with anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering enabled. Doom 3 and Quake 4 improves as much as 13-18%, and Prey improves at least 15.6%. The ATI Radeon™ X1950 Pro and X1650 XT also sees improvements in Doom 3 and Quake 4 of up to 14.1% at higher resolutions with anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering enabled.

ATI's Folding@Home

Folding@Home is a distributed computing project designed by the Stanford University. The application performs intensive simulations of protein folding. This simulation will help researchers uncover how certain diseases develop. Folding@Home uses distributed computing to simulate protein folding, the workload is broken up into small work units and distributed across hundreds of thousands of computers over the internet. You can help find the cure to many different diseases! To join Folding@Home, follow these steps:

1. Download ATI's Catalyst™ software suite
2. Download the Folding@Home GPU client application
Note: If you do not have an ATI Radeon™ X1600 or higher, then download the CPU client.
If you have an ATI Radeon™ X1600 or higher, download the GPU client (either console or GUI version) not to be confused with the CPU "Graphical client".
3. Enter the ATI team number 51394 and start folding!

Škoda, že Stratos má červenou kartu a nemůže nám poreferovat o tom, jak se mu zvedl výkon na HD2900XT minimálně o desítky procent.

Toto su vlastne tie spominane a ocakavane SUPER CAROVNE CATALYSTY, ahaaa – ja skor ocakavam narast o stovky, alebo tisice percent, ak nie viac...
Dufam, ze aj na mojej ubohej X1950Pro sa ich neuveritelna sila a vykon prejavi a vykon mi vyskoci o zopar desiatok percent hore tiez, ak nie, smola.

Je to v podstatě totéž, co 8.38 RC7. Jenom se u Microsoftu skoro 14 dní válely, než je ocertifikovali...

Doufám, že 7.6 dopadnou líp a budou dřív.

má to cenu dávat na X300SE? asi ne, když mam teď 7,3, ještě by mi to mohlo ten výkon snížit
