Tom's Hardware discusses an apparent bug in AMD's Catalyst driver where there is some confusion whether the Northbridge driver is installed or not.

When installing AMD's current northbridge drivers, the "success" confirmation message, installation log entries, and info in the Device Manager might lead you to believe that everything was installed just fine. Too bad the Catalyst setup says otherwise.

You can of course download Catalyst 10.6 drivers here for the Northbridge.

Fudzilla reports on a tweet from ATI/AMD's Terry Makedon on the Catalyst 10.7 drivers that are coming down the pipe. Apparently VLC 1.1.1 support is included that will allow GPU acceleration and DSP decoding on certain Radeons.

All in all, Catalyst 10.7 and VLC 1.1.1 will enable a wide community of users on multiple operating systems to playback video using GPU acceleration on their AMD Radeon HD series GPUs. We have a feeling that this event is going to be even more significant than when native GPU acceleration was offered with Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 7 on launch day in October 2009. VLC Player is open-sourced code running on multiple platforms and allows a much larger audience of users to play many more format types and codecs than those offered by Microsoft’s Windows Media Player and other competing GPU-accelerated media players.

AMD has released the Catalyst 10.6 drivers. They come in all OS flavors. You can find out the full details here.

Apparently the Radeon driver team really hats Battlefield players. The 10.5 Catalyst drivers again increased the load times if you are under Windows 7 or Vista. They have released a hotfix here. It is called 10.5a.

he ATI Catalyst 10.5a Hotfix provides resolution for the following issue:

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - Long load times for new maps when using a Windows® 7 / Windows Vista® based system with an:
ATI Radeon HD 4xxx series graphics card
ATI Radeon HD 3xxx series graphics card
