ATI Catalyst 9.8 released

ati_logoDeep within the halls of QuakeCon, ATI’s @IanMcNaughton is drummin’ up support for a future all in red. Though not all of us can be on the ground in Texas, big red is doing a fine job keeping us in the loop with their efforts from afar.

As a consolation prize for those of us who have been doing just that, ATI has used the blog to introduce the so-fresh-we-don’t-even-know-what’s-changed-and-they’re-not-available-anywhere-else Catalyst 9.8 drivers.

Go on. Take a leap of faith.

    I'm looking for some official release notes, but there are many rumors about crossfire enhancements inside of the dragon platform, and even some tidbits about possible Havok functionality for the upcoming Wolfenstein.

    I hope it officially supports the new Radeon HD 4200. I have a new 785G-based system sitting around waiting for the CPU to arrive. I don't want it to arrive and find out it's not supported yet.

    Full release info probably won't come out until next week by my understanding. According to my info from ATI, the drivers feature big improvements for CrossfireX setups as well as single GPU setups on Dragon platform systems. FarCry 2, Crysis, HAWX, Battleforge, Stalker Clear Sky, Company of Heros and World in Conflict all see solid gains under these new drivers.
