AMD/ATI ha rilasciato come ogni mese un nuovo set di driver Catalyst per le proprie schede video Radeon, come notereta dalla versione 7.12 si è passatia alla 8.1, per chi non lo sapesse questo avviene perchè il primo numero sta ad indicare l’anno di appartenenza ed il secondo numero il mese.
I driver introducono molte ottimizzazioni per numerosi giochi, ma la vera novità è che per la prima volta implementano la tecnologia MultiView in abbinamento alle API OpenGL.
AMD/ATI ha anche rilasciato un set di driver dedicato a chi possiede una scheda ATI in versione AGP che risolvono alcuni problemi, e migliora le prestazioni con Crysis in DirectX 10 e Crossfire.
