All of you ATI users have a bit of a treat today. Head over to ATI, or just click this and get your new Catalyst drivers. Some of highlights of this release include:

Enhancements to our driver's internal memory management bring significant benefits to 64MB and 128MB framebuffer configurations in Catalyst?5.7.

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

Bug Squashing:

Many fixes including some for games such as Flight Sim, Trackmania, and Warcraft III. Grab the release notes for more info.

Looking good. I'll snag them when I get home. I've got a LAN party to attend on Saturday. :-)
