ATI Catalyst 10.2 and 10.3 feature preview - CrossFireX profiles and more

Hi everyone,

Today sees the release of ATI's monthly graphics driver for February, Catalyst 10.2, and it's a big one in terms of new features and additions. To see what both this driver and March's Catalyst 10.3 release have in store for ATI graphics board owners, check out our analysis of the features they'll be bringing to the table.


"Starting with the bad news, Catalyst 10.2 won't be bringing us user customisable application profiles to the table, despite all of the clamour for just this feature over recent years. However, the good news is that what ATI have done is to effectively split the part of their driver that deals with application profiles out into its own discrete file, meaning that updates to this profile list can be released separately by ATI for download by users at any time as required. So, rather than having to remain in line with monthly driver releases, new profiles can be released several times a day if required, to ensure that the latest games are supported properly as soon as the driver team have tested and created the required profile. These profiles won't just be limited to adding in CrossFire support either (although it will probably remain their primary purpose), as profiles can also be used to fix other compatibility issues such as the ability to force anti-aliasing in certain
titles and the like, making the new system good news even for those running only a single GPU in their machine."

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

A Look at ATI's Catalyst 10.2 & 10.3 Drivers



Quote: With its upcoming 10.2 and 10.3 Catalyst graphics drivers, AMD is making sure it goes well beyond the hardware to deliver the ultimate PC experience, whether or not it includes gaming. We're taking a look at all of the features on the horizon, including game profiles, CrossFireX and Eyefinity improvements, mobile drivers and more.
