Or is this for multi-card solutions (vs single card, multi-GPU)?

from test results shown on other websites...the 9.6 betas that was out...better than the 9.5s...so my assumption is that these are the same...i still feel the 9.4 were probably the best though as the same results compared 9.4-9.6 and the 9.4 was shown to be a lil better in most cases.

Win 7
Does it work with Windows 7 or do we need to download that other set of drivers?

yeah
Thait is a subjective figure. For 13% to be oh 1 FPS, your frame rate would have to be like 7 FPS. If your system is running at 7 FPS, then you need to adjust something else.
Now for the people running their stuff at say 50 FPS,this will give them +6.5 FPS. Not great, but better. |

This time i was curios to see if something changed
Crysis warhead on gamer and 1280x0124 gives me 46 fps average , from catalyst 8.11 to catalyst 9.6 this didn't changed too much , it gives me eighter 45 or 46 but it's nothing major. In team fortress 2 the framerate changed catalyst 9.5 and the best so far for source engine 15196 frames 118.939 seconds 127.76 fps ( 7.83 ms/f) 11.665 fps variability this is on a custom demo made by me and catalyst 9.6 15196 frames 135.555 seconds 112.10 fps ( 8.92 ms/f) 23.596 fps variability the game is very cpu limited on my computer (e2180@3250), overclocking the card gives no framerate gain but it's intresting to see that catalyst 9.6 consumes a bit more cpu power than 9.5. I kept 9.6 because the difference is neglijable. |

Nice to see some more performance gains for Crysis . . . especially with xfire . . . but, y'know, if there was good ATI support from the developer, we wouldn't need to rely on driver releases

hydravision is multimonitor software.
lets you do stuff like extend the start menu across multiple screens.
