AMD Releases ATI Catalyst 10.11 Graphics
Gotta love the fresh feeling of another new hundredth point.
Ready to freshen your AMD/ATI driver set? The new Catalyst 10.11 have just been released.
The 10.11 set contains the following:
· AMD display driver version 8.791
· HydraVision for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7
· Southbridge/IXP Driver
· AMD Catalyst Control Center version 8.791
Like other driver releases, are there small performance improvements. The boosts are less notable than in other major releases, faster is always better.
· Battleforge: Performance increases up to 3% on ATI Radeon™ HD 5800 Series single and CrossFire configurations with anti-aliasing disabled.
· STALKER – Call of Pripyat benchmark: Performance increases up to 5% on ATI Radeon™ HD 5800 Series single and CrossFire configurations

if you have a toshiba, sony or panasonic notebook, the release notes clearly state that this is not compatible with those products. so it's your fault if you install them and have problems...
Well there is a good reason why you should stay at the 10.7 then. Especially considering that the HD2K series has not gotten any real performance updates since well the 9 series of drivers.
Much like the newer drivers don't seem to have any real performance upgrades for the HD4K series anymore.

also have the mobility hd2600 and my idle temp is still 37°C after installing 10.11. but i noticed a HUGE improvment in flash apps. maybe because of the openCL driver? i thought only 5000 and above are capable...
or it's time to upgrade
why use ancient hardware like that
Yes.

Now if they'd only come up with half decent Linux drivers... I really want to make Ubuntu 10.10 my main desktop OS, but gaming is still impossible. It's not AMD's fault devs don't natively support Linux, but half decent drivers would at least make Wine a bit more viable. I guess just fixing Wine would be even better though...
Thank you. It was an honest question, I don't know why people downranked me. I JUST assembled my first AMD/ATI card 2 days ago and I didn't know for sure.
TBH I really ever wonder if there's any point to upgrade your video drivers beyond any specifically noted fixes/performance enhancements mentioned. Really, I'm sure the drivers from this time last year don't really make any difference for my 4870.
I have a Toshiba, and the drivers always worked fine... And Toshiba, Sony or Panasonic, don't have any special breed of GPU's... It's just a precautionary measure from those vendors (aka stay with 8.5 drivers forever). A GPU is a GPU.
