Catalyst 9.10 goes live

26 October 2009

AMD has released its latest monthly graphics card update in the form of Catalyst 9.10.

This update is the first official WHQL release that supports the just launched HD 5800 series graphics cards.

One of the main features being touted by the update is new “super sample antialiasing” which only works with HD 5800 cards. The new antialiasing reportedly allows users to achieve superior antialiasing visual quality whilst at the same time maintaining high frame-rates.

Highlights of resolved issues

•    Ghostbusters video game no longer flickers between desktop and game play when anti-aliasing is set to 8X and game resolution set to 2560×1600

•    Enabling Screen Space Ambient Occlusion option in “Riddick 2 Dark Athena” no longer causes the game to fail under Multi-GPU configurations

•    Severe flickering no longer observed while running 3D games/samples on specific HDMI displays with configurations using ATI CrossFireX™ technology in tri and quad modes

•    Desktop flashing no longer observed after driver installation and reboot with systems configured with Radeon ASIC in the primary PCIe slot and ATI Fire Stream™ ASIC in the secondary PCIe slot

•    “Combat Mission Shock Force” no longer fails after a duration of game play

•    Underscan/Overscan settings for TV can now be applied from the ATI Catalyst Control Center – TV Properties Adjustments page

•    Changes to the “All Settings” and “Basic Quality” pages in ATI Catalyst Control Center – Avivo™ Video will now be retained after reboot

There has been no mention of a fix for the much publicized Anno 1404 DX10 problem introduced by Catalyst 9.7 a few months ago.
