Comme annoncé, AMD vient de mettre en ligne ses nouveaux pilotes Catalyst WHQL, estampillés 10.3.

Typically ATI does not release NON WHQL certified drivers, but as it seems ATI will release a beta today which we'll post once available. The driver should help out with a LOT of performance improvements for several game titles. The non-WHQL driver features a couple of enhancements that weren't ready in time for the WHQL driver, this includes Eyefinity 6 (which we'll actually review soon with six monitors) updates and a performance enhancement for Alien vs. Predator.

Here's an overview of the new features in Catalyst 10.3:

  # ATI Eyefinity Technology Bezel Correction - compensate for your bezels so objects in your game move from one display to the other smoothly
  # ATI Catalyst™ Mobility - monthly updates for the mobile crowd
  # ATI Eyefinity Technology Per Display Control - adjust for differences in each individual displays brightness, color and contrast
  # ATI Eyefinity Technology Multiple Display Groups - more display groups to give further control of your desktop with three displays or more connected
  # ATI Eyefinity Technology Display Configuration Switching - easily switch from one display mode to another
  # 3D Stereoscopic 3D driver hooks - enables 3rd party middleware vendors to bring more 3D stereoscopic gaming options
