This release of Catalyst™ introduces software CrossFire™ support for the ATI Radeon™ HD 2600 Series and ATI Radeon™ HD 2400 Series.

WOW at all the performance improvements

Wow -- those are some pretty big improvements with DX10 stuff.

...though I'm not going near this thing with a 10-foot-poll, not with what happened to AGP support with the last patch. :p

would be nice if i could download vista x64 version without getting "file not found" error...

Do you have all the windows updates?

DaMultaDo you have all the windows updates?

He's telling that the server is down. I can't download it too.

My bad.


I can download XP, and Vista 64bit.

Should I uninstall 7.9 before installing these?

thats xp 64 not vista 64...

Always uninstall the previous driver.

Exceededgokuthats xp 64 not vista 64...

Yep, the vista 64 is down. I thought I clicked on the right one.

Any performance boost for the older cards (X800 ect)?

Just wanted to say the excellent Omega drivers have also been updated to the tweaked versions of Cat 7.9 after a long period of inactivity. Great for owners of non HD 2X00 cards

"BioShock DX10 CrossFire™ performance improves 70% or more on all ATI Radeon™ HD2x00 series of products"

holy f***

i dont got crossfire but hell thats big

been waiting for the vista cat 7.10 drivers for ages woot!

Edit: these performance hikes are really big.. was something not working in the previous drivers??

mandeloreEdit: these performance hikes are really big.. was something not working in the previous drivers??

CrossFire, apparently...

I doubt these will have any effect on an x800. Also, I'd like to try the Omega Drivers (they worked great on my old 9250), but there isn't an Omega Driver version for Xp x64.

plus there aint vista omega drivers :(

Edit: I installed and now have the extra option under adaptive antialiasing:

wooooooooooooot
software cf for me!!!

i have sent an email to ATI support but I don't know how long it will take for them to respond and fix the links to teh vista 64 files...

files are up now :)

Bonerheimer_cShould I uninstall 7.9 before installing these?

You HAVE to uninstall drivers every update or else it wont work.

Wow these 2x00 cards just keep getting better! :p

Aw man, i finally got unlazy and installed the 7.9 cats last weekend. I'm sure i'll get around to installing these as soon as 7.11 comes along :P

Most of the land in Arma has fog on the ground for me with these drivers just like 7.9's did.

Get it some times on TW PGA 07 to on the backgrounds Ummm.

I would like to know If the new release actualy works with AGP as the last two releases have not been good for me.

ATI RuleZZZZZZ...

You see that you buy the card with a certain performance..

But when you come home...BOOOMMM!!!!!

You see a performance boost!!!

I mean the card gets faster and faster standing in your case :D

Very nice....Great job ATI!!!
