ATI Catalyst 9.10 Vista Driver Analysis

Vote: Thumbs Down or Thumbs Up Manufacturer: AMD

Introduction

New cards and new drivers; there really isn't much more we could ask for from the Radeon producing company. As always, when new cards come to the market we begin to mix it up when it comes to what cards we test. This month is no different and you'll see some major changes to the card line-up along with another small difference coming next month.

While you probably already know what's going to be included, we will still cover it in our next page. Before we do that, though, let's see what changes the 9.10s carry with them first.
