Introduction

The end of the month was coming to an end and a lot of people thought that for the first time in a long time we would see the ATI driver team skip a month of Catalyst drivers. It’s late in the month but not the end of it just quite yet and ATI managed to come through with the goods.

ATI has just made the Catalyst 6.6 driver available for download on their website. So let’s get into it quickly and have a look what ATI are offering us this time around and then get straight into the benchmarking.
