The Catalyst WHQL Windows 7 driver comes as yet another first for AMD, and a first for Microsoft's Windows 7 certification program. Dated 5/5/2009, the drivers carry the version 8.612, feature full support for Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) 1.1 and works with ATI Radeon HD 2000, HD 3000, and HD 4000 series. The drivers also provide support for ATI Stream GPGPU technology.

DOWNLOAD: ATI Catalyst 8.612 WHQL for Windows 7 64-bit, and Windows 7 32-bit.

Is this Catalyst 9.5?

Mussels · May 6, 2009

WOOHOO! I just went to 7 on my main system last night

cat 8.4 shows at 8.600 in device manager, so this is just a few builds up.

edit: on the x64 page make sure you click the bottom link, the top one is a month old.

Why 8.6?

Edit:
Sorry, never mind =)

read the post directly above yours.

InnocentCriminal · May 6, 2009

Anyone compared the version number to the 9.5 beta?

kenkickr · May 6, 2009

Right now I can say it installs much easier than the 9.4's and 9.5 beta due to not havinig to manually install them. Massive driver footprint for being an ATI driver(this is nothing compared to Nvidia's :laugh:

), almost 100Mb. Nice that it comes with Hydravision.

oli_ramsay · May 6, 2009

is it safe to delete the 2 highlighted folders after installation?

kenkickr · May 6, 2009

The ATI one should be OK to remove but not the AMD folder. The AMD folder contains the 8.6 version driver. Now if you have any ATI tuner cards installed then I wouldn't remove the ATI folder.

crtecha · May 6, 2009

This is awesome. I installed just the 9.5 beta drivers last night Ill have to throw these on when I get home.

Hayder_Master · May 6, 2009

PCpraiser100 · May 6, 2009

ShadowFold · May 6, 2009

I downloaded 7 RC last night.. I wasn't gonna install it, but now I want to

theubersmurf · May 6, 2009

Does this driver have support for Radeon 4770?

This is 98MB, nVidia's is 79MB... how is this "nothing" compared to nVidia's?

InnocentCriminal · May 6, 2009

He was probably referring to older drivers.

Nitrogliserin · May 6, 2009

oh please I hope Control Center is working with this one.
I got a 1080p LCD-Tv. without CCC I cant enlarge my screen.

H82LUZ73 · May 6, 2009

Nitro use the scaling options,Also Win7 defaults to what ever your tv-monitor can go to,My 37 inch is set for 1920x1280 and i still have to use scaling.

I tried these this morning and install was like 9.4 ask me if I want to install driver signature error again.Then I tried a game and DX errors all the time went back to 9.4.

Polarman · May 6, 2009

Trying to figure out why 7's drivers are close to 100MB compared to Vista 47MB 32bit flavor.

ShadowFold · May 6, 2009

Downloading these now. Hope they're good! The RC of 7 is definitely more polished than the old beta's. I actually like it :toast:
