Der neue Catalyst 11.12 ist ein offizieller Treiber mit WHQL-Zertifikat und Support, während es sic h bei dem Catalyst 12.1 Preview um eine Vorabversion des Treibers handelt, der im Januar 2012 als WHQL-Version erscheinen wird.
Der Catalyst 11.12 behebt eine größere Anzahl Fehler, bietet aber ansonsten aber keine Verbesserungen. Laut AMD enthält der Catalyst 12.1 alle Funktionen des Catalyst 11.12, alle Optimierungen der Catalyst 11.11-Hotfix-Treiber und zusätzliche neue Funktionen und Leistungsverbesserungen. AMD empfiehlt daher allen Spielern, gleich den Catalyst 12.1 Preview zu installieren.
Zu den neuen Funktionen des Vorab-Treibers gehören die Möglichkeit, Profile für verschiedene Spiele anzulegen und das Erzwingen von CrossfireX in Spielen, die bisher von den Treibern noch nicht erkannt werden. Für The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim verspricht AMD bis zu 15 Prozent mehr Leistung bei aktiviertem MSAA für die Radeon HD 6900-Serie in Einzel- und CrossfireX-Konfigurationen.
