AMD Catalyst 12.2 WHQL Now Available
AMD finally posted Catalyst 12.2 WHQL driver suite, the one package that installs drivers and system software for AMD/ATI Radeon GPUs, AMD APU graphics, AMD chipset-integrated graphics, etc. Catalyst 12.2 WHQL brings official support for Radeon HD 7700 series, and Radeon HD 7900 series (for Windows 7/Vista only, for Windows XP it will be added with Catalyst 12.4). Super-sampling AA (SSAA) is now available for DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 applications, supported on the Radeon HD 7700 series and HD 7900 series. It must be enabled through Catalyst Control Center, and application profiles, and games should support in-game AA modes.
AMD also introduced enhancements for Eyefinity 2.1, including custom-resolutions, dynamic configuration changes (switching between different display configurations will occur automatically by loading the appropriate profile, when plugging/unplugging displays); Windows Taskbar re-positioning, and improvements with the Eyefinity Profile Manager. For more information, please refer to the Release Notes document. DOWNLOAD: AMD Catalyst 12.2 WHQL |

Not everything on the site is updated to 12.2 as of this post. Might be taking longer than expected.
EDIT: all links are showing 12.2 now. |

On wifes new PC i removed an older unneeded nVidia card in order to use the onboard AMD HDMI "solution", so I uninstalled all nVidia plus the MS stock Ati driver with a cleaner and installed this latest AMD driver glory and then clicking on CCC does *nothing*.
I didn't even ask for playing games, no, but just that it worked on desktop. I never had problems uninstalling, reinstalling, beta, WHQL, whatever with nVidia... AMD just hates me... lol BTW, AMD Gigabyte mobo and processor. "Pure blessings". 8) |

This is the first time in YEARS that AMD release a version that is not synced with the month it named after.

DX9 graphics has to be duplicated into OS memory. they usually dont reserve/dupe more than 256MB, but it still has to be done.

not sure i agree with the 'most important' part anymore, but the premise is near enough.
