ATI: Catalyst 3.4 sind da
Veröffentlicht am 16.05.2003 13:55:24

Nachdem die Version 3.3 der ATI Catalyst Treiber wegen einiger Verzögerungen und Schwierigkeiten erst gar nicht erschienen ist, bietet ATI nun die Version 3.4 an. Die neuen Treiber sollen eine verbesserte 3D-Leistung bringen, vor allem unter Anti-Aliasing und anisotrophischer Filterung. Ein Versprechen das alle Grafikkartenhersteller bei einer neuen Treiberversion machen und auch meistens halten. Zumindest kann man oft eine 5 bis 10 Prozentige Leistungssteigerung bei neuen GPUs ausmachen, da die „alten“ Treiber diese noch nicht richtig ausnutzen.

Erwähnenswert wäre noch, dass dem Catalyst auch noch ein optimierter DivX-Player (DIV FULLSTREAM) dabei ist, der die Deblocking-Technologie Fullstream ab der Radeon 9500 unterstützt. Smartgart Erweiterungen sollen für mehr Systemstabilität sorgen. Des weiteren sind nun Consumer und Workstation-Treiber in dieser einen Version vereint. Windows Media Edition wird ebenfalls unterstützt.

Der Download der Catalyst 3.4 Treiber misst 6,23 MB. Das dazugehörige ATI Control-Panel wiegt 4,82 MB.

Unterstützt werden die Betriebssysteme Windows 98/98SE/Me/2000 und XP.
