ATI Releases Catalyst 8.9 Video Card Drivers for Download

ATI has just released Catalyst 8.9 for Windows Vista, Windows XP and Linux platforms on amd.com, so be sure to get them if you need them. The drivers have the usual game patches, but also has new display modes for HDTVs, Overdrive support for CrossFireX users, and OpenGL 3.0 extension support. Not a bad little monthly driver build from the guys up in Canada. The game issues that are resolved are listed below.

# Company of Heroes: Setting the in-game options to maximum levels no longer results in the game exiting to the desktop after the game has completed loading.
# DiRT: Setting shadows to ultra quadCF no longer results in a performance drop being noticed.
# Assassins Creed: Brightness and saturation distortion is no longer observed during game play with ForceAA enabled.
# Grid: Enabling CrossFire and starting a new game no longer results in flickering bands being noticed across the display device.
# Jericho: Corruption is no longer noticed when AA is enabled and the in-game option Advanced Smoothing is enabled.
# Age of Conan: Playing the game for a short period of time no longer results in flickering corruption being noticed.
