ATI Catalyst™ version 10.2
Драйвер ATI Catalyst 10.2, который теперь доступен для скачивания привносит ряд улучшений для технологии ATI CrossFire. В попытке обеспечить лучшую
поддержку CrossFire для новых игр, AMD извлекла профили CrossFire из 3D
драйвера Catalyst и переместила их в отдельный файл, который теперь будет
регулярно обновляться с помощью отдельного обновления. Графический гигант
удалил код для нескольких GPU из 3D-драйвера в пользу нового многочипового драйвера, что открыло путь для улучшения взаимодействия между IGP и графическими процессорами видеокарт в будущих продуктах. Поддержка CrossFire включена для конфигураций ATI Eyefinity, и владельцы систем с несколькими GPU, обеспокоенные энергопотреблением, могут также рассчитываем на "Ultra Low Power State", которое снижает напряжение и тактовую частоту второго графического процессора, когда он не используется.
Заглядывая вперёд, AMD также опубликовала целый ряд новых функций, которые планируется сделать частью ATI Catalyst 10.3. Мартовский выпуск будет первым ежемесячным выпуском нового ATI Catalyst Mobility и принесёт с собой волну улучшений для ATI Eyefinity, в том числе мастера, который даст
пользователям возможность удалить пиксели, занятые кромкой экрана, а также позволит настроить цвета, яркость и контрастность для каждого отдельного дисплея в конфигурации Eyefinity. Основные улучшения в ATI Catalyst 10.2:
* Профили ATI CrossFireX: обеспечение лучшей производительности CrossFireX.
* Изменение архитектуры ATI CrossFireX: обеспечение более удобных
строительных блоков на будущее.
* Ultra Low Power State: экономия питания, когда игра не запущена.
* ATI CrossfireX для Eyefinity: теперь CrossFireX улучшает производительность
Eyefinity в играх.
* Звук DisplayPort: теперь звук может воспроизводиться непосредственно
монитором с DisplayPort и встроенными колонками.

ATI Catalyst™ Release Note Version 10.2 2
Web Content
The Catalyst™ Software Suite 10.2 contains the following:
ATI Radeon™ display driver 8.702
HydraVision™ for both Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7
WDM Driver Install Bundle
Southbridge/IXP Driver
ATI Catalyst™ Control Center Version 8.702
Caution: The ATI Catalyst™ software driver and the ATI Catalyst™
Control Center can be downloaded independently of each other.
However, for maximum stability and performance AMD
recommends that both components be updated from the same ATI
Catalyst™ release.
Caution: The ATI Catalyst™ Control Center requires that the
Microsoft .NET Framework SP1 be installed. Without .NET SP1
installed, the ATI Catalyst™ Control Center will not launch properly
and the user will see an error message.
Note: These release notes provide information on the ATI Radeon™
display driver only. For information on the ATI Multimedia
Center™, HydraVision™, HydraVision Basic Edition, WDM,
Remote Wonder™, or the Southbridge/IXP driver, please refer to
their respective release notes found at: http://support.amd.com/.
Note: Although listed in the documentation,
ADL_Adapter_ClockInfo_Get is not available in the current version
of the ADL. The code for obtaining the clock information was
excluded due to inaccurate information being reported when the card
is over-clocked. Future updates of ADL SDK will reflect this change.
As an alternative, ADL_Overdrive5_ODParameters_Get() can be
used but this API is only supported on R600 and above ASICs.
Note: ATI Eyefinity technology gives gamers access to incredibly
high display resolutions. As pixel count grows, the graphics
horsepower required to drive the displays at a reasonable frame rate
can increase dramatically. Depending on the game and system
configuration, users may notice texture corruption and reduced frame
rates when running games in multi-monitor Eyefinity modes.
ATI Catalyst™ Release Note Version 10.2 3
Note: The Drag and Drop Transcoding feature is a beta level feature
provided only for evaluation purposes. The Drag and Drop
Transcoding feature is only supported on single and dual core CPUs,
and supported on devices that support Media Transfer Protocol
(MTP).
