AMD heeft zojuist zijn nieuwe Catalyst 7.10-drivers op de servers gezet. Op het eerste gezicht mag dit niet spannend lijken, maar de drivers schijnen voor flink wat prestatiewinst te zorgen in een hoop games. De driver draagt dan ook de bijnaam "Shoot 'Em Up".Hoewel AMD's statements met een korrel zout genomen moeten worden, claimt de fabrikant de volgende verbeteringen (onvertaald overgenomen):
* BioShock DirectX 10 performance improves at least 70% on Crossfire configurations on the entire ATI Radeon HD 2000 Series
* World in Conflict DirectX 10 performance improves 14-67% on Crossfire configurations and single card performance improves by 20% or more using the ATI Radeon HD 2600 Series, and ATI Radeon HD 2900 Series
* World in Conflict DirectX 9 performance improves at least 70% on Crossfire configurations on the entire ATI Radeon HD 2000 Series
* Lost Planet DirectX 10 performance improves at least 20% on Crossfire configurations on the entire ATI Radeon HD 2000 Series
* Call of Juarez DirectX 10 performance improves up to 42% on Crossfire configurations and single card performance improves up to 34% on the entire ATI Radeon HD 2000 Series
* Company of Heroes DirectX 10 performance improves up to 80% on Crossfire configurations on the entire ATI Radeon HD 2000 Series and single card performance improves as much as 31% on the ATI Radeon HD 2900 Series and ATI Radeon HD 2600 Series
* Battlefield 2142 performance improves 5-23% on Crossfire configurations using the ATI Radeon HD 2400 Series, ATI Radeon HD 2600 Series and the ATI Radeon X1300/X1550 Series
* Call of Duty 2 performance improves up to 6.7% on both single card and Crossfire configurations using the ATI Radeon HD 2600 Series and the ATI Radeon HD 2400 Series
* Enemy Territory: Quake Wars performance improves on Crossfire configurations as much as 23% on the ATI Radeon X1000 Series and single card performance improves as much as 23% on both the entire ATI Radeon HD 2000 Series and ATI Radeon X1000 Series
* F.E.A.R. performance improves as much as 16% on Crossfire configurations using the ATI Radeon X1950 XTX, ATI Radeon X1650 XT, ATI Radeon HD2400 Series and the ATI Radeon X1300/X1550 Series
* Supreme Commander performance improves on Crossfire configurations up to 30% on the entire ATI Radeon HD 2000 Series and ATI Radeon X1000 Series. Crossfire configurations using the ATI Radeon X1650 and ATI Radeon X1300/X1550 see even greater improvements of 82% or more.
Daarnaast is het met deze driver nu ook mogelijk adaptive anti-aliasing op de X1000-serie in te schakelen. Deze vorm van anti-aliasing is stukken beter dan de anti-aliasing die tot voorheen beschikbaar was voor de X1000. Daarnaast kunnen de Radeon HD 2600 en Radeon HD 2400 eindelijk in Crossfire geschakeld worden.
