AMD today released this month's timely release of its Catalyst software suite, a unified software package that installs the latest drivers for AMD Radeon graphics processors, AMD HDMI audio device, 7-series and 8-series chipsets, and related system software. This particular release has been touted by its makers within the community to provide significant performance improvements, some of which have been demonstrated by a "preview" version of Catalyst 11.4 released last month. A partial list of those games can be found here. Apart from performance enhancements, Catalyst 11.4 WHQL includes new features such as task based display management controls, an improved Eyefinity setup group, and a new Catalyst update notifier that lets your know if a newer version of AMD Catalyst is available online. There are some OpenCL GPU compute enhancements, and a list of bugs fixed, as listed in the Release Notes document.

MilkyWayI just wanted to add that firefox 4 is gpu accelerated so it goes funny when you use morphological filtering.

Need to test out these new drivers but if they improve anything over the preview drivers then they should be great.
I thought that these basically were the preview drivers, just WHQL certified.

bogieJust a little tip for everyone that I have found.

Make sure you diable dektop composition on the compatibility tab on all your game shortcuts.

This will increase framerates and reduce mouse lag within games. :toast:
it really shouldnt, unless you have a really, really low end video card.


bim27142: stop double posting. we have an edit button for a reason.

Musselsthose lists are often less than 1/3 of the actual changes. some of the best drivers for 5K cards (10.10e and 11.4 preview) didnt mention pretty much any 5K fixes that they actually did.
11.4 preview is what im using :) the 10.10e were epic, I had edited the registery to enable MLAA and hidden features pre 10.10e

Has anyone had any issues opening the CCC? I tried last night and this morning after a reboot, and it just won't open. No error messages or anything, not even in the event logs :confused:

I had an issue where my GUI for the CCC would hang after modding the registry values for the extra 3D settings. I tired reinstalling the cats again, but had the same result. In the end I wound up doing a clean driver install with Driver Sweeper. All is well now.

I used driver sweeper 3.0 to uninstall the CAT 10.5's I had installed with the 5970's, then put in the 6970 and installed the 11.4's. Nothing was modded in the registry.

These drivers are great so far, it's nice to know that i no longer have to periodically restart when my gpu loads to 100% and slows the machine down to a crawl, than and game performance is pretty good

Most words like that are in fact words these days.

As they get published in books with characters for example using the term.

Stuff that's published goes in dictionaries. ( if it's shown to have continued usage, or the usage is already in existence)

POW! :laugh:

Update on the 11.4...

The 11.4C hotfix has been released!:eek:
If this has been posted before, sorry.:ohwell:

AMD Catalyst™ 11.4c hotfix

8.84.9 rc2

AMD Catalyst™ 11.4c hotfix: Resolves intermittent flickering in certain DirectX® 9 applications

Last Updated
4/29/2011

Article Number
GPU-108

AMD Catalyst™ Driver 11.4c Hotfix Feature:
Resolves intermittent flickering issues seen in the following applications in a system using an AMD Radeon™ HD 6600 series graphics card with DDR3 memory and running in DirectX® 9 mode:
Civilization 5
Dead Rising 2
Fallout 3
Mafia 2
NBA 2010
ShenGuiChuanQi
Starcraft 2
Warcraft III
World of Warcraft

I don't know, but it says HD6600, I believe it is a mis-print and should be HD6000. Like I said, I don't know... just a guess.

Spanish is the same, desinstalar, and I assume that most of the Romance languages follow suit, so it is inevitable that English will become corrupted by the erroneous use of desinstall and the term will probably eventually appear in standard dictionaries, in a reversal of the more common direction of "linguistic contamination".


I have been using these drivers for a number of days without issue.
