For those of you running Radeon cards from the HD7000 series, AMD has just released the Catalyst 13.4 drivers. These drivers carry a lot of performance improvements and they specifically address latency in Radeon cards. If you’re a gamer, click through and check it out.
Last week AMD updated their Catalyst drivers to 12.3, bringing in new optimisations for various games and some bug fixes which affected some titles, notably Skyrim with some texture and compression corruption when you set things to Very High on AMD cards in Xfire. Read below to see the full list of changes and fixes. XP fans must take note, official Radeon HD7000 support for your platform starts only in 12.4, so you can ignore this release. You can install it, however, and give it a bash. Windows 8 nutters, there’s nothing of interest for you here either – sorry.
When AMD finally launched its Eyefinity technology it had been teasing for a while, gamers across the world rejoiced – triple-monitor gaming changes everything from the experience to the visuals used in a game. Crysis becomes so much more than just a compelling first-person shooter, Need For Speed addicts you to the thrill of going fast more than ever, and epics like Oblivion and Mass Effect drew you deeper into the world. Like the old 2D plane was blown apart by 3D, I’m still feeling goosebumps on my arms when I’m in front of three 22-inch LED monitors with a racing wheel in the middle and DiRT2 on-screen.
