Catalyst 9.4 out
ATI has just released Catalyst 9.4 for Windows 7, Vista, and XP platforms, with the Linux release "coming soon". Highlights of the new driver include:
New Features
ATI Catalyst™ 9.4 - New ATI OverDrive™ auto-tuning application*
• ATI Catalyst 9.4 includes a new ATI Overdrive™ auto-tune application to estimate the over-clocked engine and memory values for ATI Overdrive supported ATI Radeon™ Graphics accelerators
• Designed for the ATI Radeon™ HD 4000 Series
Resolved Issue Highlights
• "World of Warcraft" or "World of Warcraft - Wrath of the Lich King": Flickering no longer occurs when Shadow is set to medium/high using ATI CrossFire configurations
• Google Sketchup no longer displays blank screen
• Resolutions above 1024 x 768 will now full screen properly for specific HDMI displays
• Artifacts no longer visible while playing Age of Conan DX10
• VC-1 progressive disc playback no longer exhibits block corruption.
• The Compute Abstraction Layer (CAL) driver now functions properly under Windows XP
* AMD’s product warranty does not cover damages caused by over clocking, even when enabled via AMD OverDrive software

Re: Catalyst 9.4 out
Btw, the AMD driver blog page mentions
And last but surely not least, my favorite community: ATI Catalyst™ 9.4 for Linux
We will have support (once the driver is available on or about April 17th) for new operating systems:
RHEL 5.3 production support
Ubuntu 9.04 early look support

Re: Catalyst 9.4 out
Nah I got an SLI board and I can't even use it for modern SLI cause its an 8x8 one.
Don't plan on selling the 8800 either. But I do have a purpose for it.

Re: Catalyst 9.4 out
I wonder how that company promising support for combining ATi & NV cards on the same mobo is doing?
