Nové ovladače ATI Catalyst 9.6 jsou oficiálně vydány. Trochu překvapením je absence podpory pro starší karty než Radeon HD 2000, tedy X1000 a nižší. Původně se očekával čtvrtletní update i pro staré modely a právě verze 9.6 měla být první, která podporu přinese. Není ovšem vyloučeno, že se objeví později. Release notes se ovšem zmiňují pouze o Radeonech HD 2000 a novějších.
Slibován je však vyšší výkon…
- Company of Heroes – až 25% nárůst u karet HD 4600 a slabších, 10% u HD 4800
- Crysis – až 13% nárůst v multi-GPU zapojení
- Crysis Warhead – až 11% nárůst v multi-GPU zapojení
- World in Conflict – až 30% nárůst výkonu v nastaveních limitujících CPU
VR-Zone porovnal v sedmi hrách a 3DMark Vantage Radeon HD 4890 s procesorem Core i7 965 ovladače Catalalyst 9.4, 9.5 a 9.6. Výraznější nárůst výkonu zaznamenali pouze v Mirror's Edge a Deadspace.
