AMD Releases Catalyst 11.2 WHQL Software Suite
AMD today released version 11.2 of its Catalyst software suite. AMD's latest release has come a little early for this time of the month. With this release, AMD focused on improving features, and introducing new ones. To begin with, tessellation controls that were first introduced with Catalyst 11.1a Hotfix, has been finalized, including a fully-functional "AMD Optimized" setting, which sets the best tessellation level while maintaining optimal frame-rates. The setting is per-application, and relies on AMD profiling applications. Next, Catalyst AI Texture Filtering received updates including a new method to improve image quality with minimal performance impact. Last of the big three feature updates is the official extension of the morphological anti-aliasing (MLAA) to AMD Radeon HD 5000 series GPUs. Call of Duty: Black Ops, and Batman Arkham Asylum got some GPU-specific performance improvements.

Install worked right over the top of 11.1 drivers for me, morphological and surface format were enabled and more adjustment on LOD with default at high quality.

Care to reword that statement because what I see interests me I just have no idea what you are saying has changed exactly.

In one of the more recent releases of the ATI CCC the interface was upgrade right?
Did this upgrade bring forth the support of application profiles, which allow you to set different options for different applications depending on your needs? See this link for nVidia example... Last edited by Per Hansson; Feb 15, 2011 at 08:37 PM. |

Oh look, they still haven't fixed the "idle clockspeed with dual monitors bug" when overclocking. What a surprise!

Catalyst AI Texture Filtering updates The Quality setting has now been improved to match the High Quality setting in all respects but one; it enables an optimization that limits tri-linear anisotropic filtering to areas surrounding texture mipmap level transitions, while doing bilinear anisotropic filtering elsewhere. This optimization offers a way to improve filtering performance without visibly affecting image quality The Performance setting has been updated to address the sharpness of the default Quality setting causing shimmering in certain cases. It now provides a smoother filtering option that eliminates most shimmering while preserving the improved detail provided by anisotropic filtering. Default is now High Quality mode with minimal driver adjustment.

I don't use them, if I need to change all the settings for one game, that game is crap, or I need a new card.

And Trickson unless you play Black Ops just don't bother (though, really, you shouldn't have any issues just installing like any other driver).

I would uninstall first using the Catalyst Installer in the AMD folder on your C: drive (make sure you choose uninstall once it's open and Express is fine) then reboot and install 11.2. I am tempted to tell you to go through a cleaning first but thats a hassle and really shouldn't be necessary anyway. In fact, just installing over the top can and should work fine too but lets play it safe with you. If you have issues a cleaning is in order.

Someone else already asked and I would like to know too.
Do presets now pretty much function like profiles and let you choose different settings for different applications? Example: NFS Shift crashes if I set AA from inside the game. I made a profile for it where I set AA inside CCC and it works like a charm. |

Running 2 'unlocked' shaders only 6950 in crossfire and playing bfbc2 without problems.
After upgrading to 11.2, crossfire was disabled and 2nd adapter showed "disabled" in ccc. No way to enable crossfire. De-installed 11.2, driver sweeper on it, re-installed 11.1 hotfix and everything back to normal. |
