    ATI has released the 6.8 Catalyst drivers.

    Additionally to the usual list of issues corrected, ATI also speaks of shader compiler and transform engine optimizations that lead to notable performance improvements in OpenGL with X1000 cards: up to 6.5% with Doom 3, 18% with Quake 4, 20% with Chronicles of Riddick (5-10% on average) and 16% with Prey.

    ATI also made optimizations to the graphics memory manager. It has led to significant gains in DirectX applications that make heavy use of graphics memory on 256MB graphics cards. ATI says for example that performances are improved by as much as 22% in 3DMark06 with AA activated in 1280 x 1024 and even more with X1000. Performances with Call Of Duty 2 are also improved.
