ATI CATALYST 5.7 Released

After the making the biggest driver changes in years, ATI is back again with CATALYST 5.7 drivers. The drivers are a tad over 25MB and have a 1080p display support option for those of you who were waiting on a fix! Most performance gains on these drivers are at 1600x1200 with AA & AF enabled, so if you run a high rez monitor you really need to download these drivers.

The resulting performance gains are most apparent in high resolution, everything on modes, when running applications that use a significant amount of graphics memory. Examples include:

5-15% gains in 3DMark05 on some products
20-60% gain in Far Cry Regulator across multiple settings
25-60% gains in Half-Life 2 at 1600x1200 4xAA 8xAF
40-60% gains in UT2004 at 1600x1200 6xAA 16xAF
50-100% improvement in Comanche4 at 1600x1200 6xAA 16xAF
50-200% gains in certain ShaderMark tests at high resolution
Feature Fun:
Catalyst? Control Center Un-install Option
1080p Display Support Option
