Now, AMD has updated its driver database with its own, newest graphics card software, the AMD Catalyst 11.3 release.
It includes several things, such as the Southbridge/IXP Driver, actual display driver (version 8.831), HydraVision (for Windows XP, Vista and 7) and, of course, the updated AMD Catalyst Control Center (also version 8.831).
According to the release notes, several issues are fixed while just one real new feature is added, namely AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing (APP) OpenCL runtime, which boosts performance of OpenCl applications.
One might notice that the company makes a point of urging its customers to install both components, even though the display driver and control center can be downloaded independently.
Also, one should make sure to have the Microsoft .NET Framework SP1 installed on their machines on Windows XP and Vista, otherwise the program will not launch, giving an error message instead.
All in all, the software suite should provide better reliability, performance and levels of power for any system equipped with one of the cards listed on this page.
One need only visit the official website to download the new release, or simply click on one of the appropriate links below.
