AMD Catalyst-Grafikkartentreiber 11.8 - Mehr Leistung und CPU-Übertaktungsfunktion

Der neue AMD Catalyst 11.8 unterstützt wie üblich alle ATI- und AMD-Grafikkarten seit der ATI Radeon HD 2000-Serie, Chipsätze mit integrierter Radeon HD 3000- oder 4000-Grafik und Notebook-Grafikchips seit der ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400.

Der neue Treiber erweitert die Overdrive-Funktion, mit der bisher nur die Grafikkarte übertaktet werden konnte, auf AMD Black-Edition-Prozessoren. Für die Grafikkarten der Radeon HD 5000- und 6000-Serien verspricht AMD mehr Leistung in Crysis 2, Fear 3 und Call of Duty: Black Ops. Auch die Leistung bei aktiviertem Morphological Anti-Aliasing steigt auch diesen Grafikkarten um bis zu 30 Prozent.
