Fudo reveals performance numbers for the new Catalyst 8.12 which is due in under a week. They are probably on average a 4% increase for some games. Apart from plain performance gains, the new Catalyst brings support for Stream technology. Thanks to Stream, 4600 and 4800 series cards will support ATI Avivo Video Converter, roughly comparable to Nvidia's Badaboom app. It will allow fast video transcoding and some other goodies. Video reproduction will also be improved through noise reduction control for progressive video content. Also you can find a link to get them here. |
