AMD Catalyst 11.10 WHQL Released
AMD today released its latest official version of Catalyst, a software suite that provides drivers for AMD/ATI Radeon graphics processors, A-Series APUs, 7-series and 8-series integrated graphics, and related system software. Catalyst 11.10 WHQL launched today has essentially the same change log as the 11.10 Preview 3 driver, except that it's WHQL-signed. Catalyst 11.10 WHQL is the driver to have when playing some of the latest titles such as Battlefield 3 and Rage.
Catalyst 11.10 WHQL brings in a few new features, too, such as support for 5x1 Eyefinity, with maximum resolution increased to 16000 x 16000 pixels on Radeon HD 6000 series GPUs, and in DirectX 11 applications, and improved Vision Engine Control Center / Catalyst Control Center applications (VECC is installed for A-Series APUs and Chipset IGPs, CCC is installed for discrete Radeon GPUs).

Same as 11.10 Preview 3. Make sure to use 11.9 CAP 4 if you are on crossfire.

happy halloween all!
I got another star, holy ^*&^.
I have preview 3 installed with cap4, UL(whatever you call it) disabled and still stuck on HIGH settings no AA only. It I set anything to ultra I get dips from 100fps down to 1-2. :(
There was no mention of bf3 improvements in there either.
AMD just quadrupled Intel's incoming 4k by 4k support. :nutkick:
Also shouldn't the CAP 4 driver be included with 11.10?
In Crossfire vram is mirrored, meaning a pair of 5870 1GB will act effectively as a 1GB card.
System memory is more than 10x slower than the memory on the 5870, it doesn't matter how much of it you have.
