AMD Catalyst 11.10 forerunner has been released in honor of Battlefield 3 Beta
During yesterday, we reported that Nvidia is launching an open beta of Battlefield 3 [here] has released a hotfix driver, and today AMD has released a new driver for the same purpose.
The September driver with the latest WHQL certification will also be released this week, with the usual version number 11.09, but before that AMD released a driver package in a so-called "Preview" state, which is a precursor to the October release. The reason this was so important was to start open beta testing for Battlefield 3. This will take place between September 29 and October 10, so AMD arrived with the package in time, so both manufacturers will start testing on Thursday with fresh drivers.
AMD Catalyst 11.10 Preview capabilities:
- It boosts performance in the Battlefield 3 Open Beta release - whether we apply anti-aliasing or not - alongside AMD Radeon ™ HD 6000 or AMD Radeon ™ HD 5000 series cards with a GPU.
- It increases performance in the Battlefield 3 Open Beta release, whether or not we apply anti-aliasing, when using AMD Radeon ™ HD 6000 or AMD Radeon ™ HD 5000 series cards in CrossFire mode.
- It allows you to use Eyefinity in a 5 × 1 line-up with Portrait and Landscape layout, which is also possible with the AMD Radeon ™ HD 6000 and AMD Radeon ™ HD 5000 series.
- Vision Engine Control Center: UI redesign on the CrossFireX, GPU Overdrive, and Information Center tabs.
Attention! Use the Beta, Preview, and pre-WHQL Hotfix drivers at your own risk! Unexpected errors can occur when using such software.
