Catalyst 8.8 Hits the Street
Thursday 21st August 2008, 03:40:00 PM, written by Geo
The folks at AMD are up to their monthly Catalyst shenanigans, with version 8.8 available today for Vista, XP, and Linux.
Highligts include new Avivo features, including Dynamic Gamma/Contrast correction for the HD 4800 series, optimized video presets (though we must note that one man's "optimized presets" are often another man's "They did what?!") for the HD 3000 and 4800 series, and improved Edge enhancement and Noise Reduction for XP users.
AMD is also claiming Hybrid Graphics support is up and running for Windows XP with this set.
For Linux lovers, there's CrossFireX support for the HD 4800 series, ATI OverDrive support, and new OS support for RHEL 5.2 and 4.7 (dubbed an "early look" on the latter).
And, of course, as with every driver package, the usual grabbag of noted bugfixes for various titles and scenarios.
Head on over to AMD's driver page to partake in the goodness.
