AMD Catalyst 10.10 Drivers - [software]
04:41 PM EDT - Oct,22 2010 - (1 comments)

AMD has just released that Catalyst 10.10 drivers here. There is also a 10.10a hotfix here. The major change of course is added official support for Radeon HD 6800 series GPUs, but also a big set of new features, namely support for Blu-ray 3D, Stereoscopic 3D powered by Dynamic Digital Depth (DDD) and iZ3D; AMD Catalyst Accelerated Parallel Processing (APP) technology; added hardware video acceleration for HD WMV, and enahnced Dynamic Contrast video controls. It doesn't stop here, a boat-load of game and GPU-specific performance increments were announced, that covers a number of Radeon HD 5000 series GPUs, which are detailed below. It apparently improves Starcraft 2 and Alien's vs Predator performance, and enables Morphological Anti-Aliasing. It also apparently bumps up OpenGL performance which will be nice for Rage, but the current crop of OpenGL titles aren't exactly cutting edge graphically.
