Markham (ON) – AMD has released Catalyst 7.10 yesterday, which, according to the company, will speed up the gaming performance of some its graphics card configurations by up to 80%. HD 2400 and HD 2600 cards get Crossfire support.

If you are unhappy with your ATI graphics card and the performance delivers in recently released games, there’s a good chance that the manufacturer’s latest driver update may fix this issue. Performance increases for certain games are what we are expecting by now from driver updates, but version 7.10 certainly is a standout.

AMD said that 70% DX10 speed gains can be seen in Crossfire HD 2000 configurations for BioShock and 14-67% for World in Conflict. Single HD 2600 and 2900 cards will be able to return about 20% more performance under World of Conflict.

The entire HD 2000 series will see “at least” 70% more speed under DX9 in World of Conflict, according to the manufacturer.

Other games that see improvements are Lost Planet (+20% in DX10 for HD 2000 Crossfire); Call of Juarez (+42% in DX10 on HD 2000 Crossfire, +34% on single cards); Company of Heroes (+80% in DX10 on Crossfire HD2000, 31% on single cards); Battlefield 2142 (5-23% on Crossfire HD 2400, 2600, X1300, X1550), Call of Duty (+7% on Crossfire/single card HD 2400 and 2600 systems); Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (+23% on X1000, HD 2000); FEAR (+16% on Crossfire X1950 XTX, X1650 XT, HD 2400, X1300/X1550) and Supreme Commander (+30% on HD 2000, X1000; at least 82% on Crossfire X1650, X1300/X1555). 

The new driver also comes with a few new features such as adaptive anti-aliasing for X1000 cards as well as Crossfire support for HD 2400 and H2600 cards.

The driver can be downloaded from AMD's website.

Não sei por que parece-me muita fruta.

Seja como for, o apesar do aumento ser significativo, vai continuar a não ser possível jogar fluídamente os jogos em DX10.

Edita também o tópico, e mete isso em "Quote" pois facilita bastante a leitura.
