ATI Catalyst 8.2

malware · Feb 13, 2008

All ATI card owners may prepare for another new Catalyst very soon. The release notes for ATI Catalyst 8.2 package are already posted online here (download in pdf format), meaning that the new driver download links are to be posted too in a few hours. I'll update the story with active links as soon as they're up and running. Until then prepare yourself for the new Catalyst 8.2.

Performance improvements with this release of Catalyst includes Company of Heroes DX10 frame rates increasing as much as 20% across all of the ATI Radeon HD 2x00 series of products and on all ATI Radeon HD 3x00 series of products. These performance improvements are even larger (up to 30%) for CrossFire configurations.

Nice, although i was hoping for more improvements on more games for the 3870 x2....

Morgoth · Feb 13, 2008

i also hope for hd3850 agp

Do you guys think I should bother getting the new ATi drivers with my old x850xt AGP. Would I see any performance increases do u think or are they just for the newer cards? I'm currently using catalyst 8.1.

I'm willing to bet that the performance increases for crossfire configurations should help the 3870 x2 a bit, as well.

It's always worth a try. If you don't get an performance increase, it may bring the more 'behind the scenes' sort of increase(s) such as stability and compatability.

Give it a shot in the mouth, like it's been said, it can't hurt. Well, it could, but it's extremely unlikely.

I love new driver releases!

damn AMD/ATI... post the driver already!!! my 3870x2 is pretty impresive but it was a PITA to install the 8.1 drivers and get it running. i got 17601 in 3dmark06 with a single x2 runing stock and my q6600 at 3.38ghz. im gonna rerun the same bench when i get the driver installed.

does a 30% gain in performance mean i will see 185XX on the same clocks?

Whilhelm · Feb 13, 2008

I have my fingers crossed that these will make my 3870 X2 even faster. Will have to wait and see.

Nitro-Max · Feb 13, 2008

I can feel the hairs growing back on my face waiting for this driver i need to shave already!!!

selway89 · Feb 13, 2008

Hmm wounder if my 2900Pro/XT would have much improvement over 7.11s

Fitseries3 · Feb 13, 2008

anyone with an X2.... does your card change the gpu/mem speeds to 411mhz when idle?
i seam to be benching really good but the clocks are wrong.

No m8 i have a powercolor 3870x2 and my idle clocks are 300mhz However i did have a standard 3870 that didnt have a idle speed it ran at full 3d clock speeds all the time.So it could be how the card manafacturer has set it up.

8.2's are now up.
