Der Grafikkartenhersteller ATI hat jetzt eine neue Version seines Catalyst-Treibers veröffentlicht. Die Ausgabe 7.12 unterstützt die Betriebssysteme Windows XP sowie Vista in der 32- und 64-Bit-Edition. Wie immer gibt es einige Verbesserungen.
Die Liste der behobenen Fehler ist wie immer recht lang. Neben kleinen Grafikproblemen in diversen Spielen werden auch allgemeine Probleme aus der Welt geschafft.
Neu ist, dass man mit den leistungsfähigen Grafikprozessoren von ATI jetzt auch am Projekt Folding@Home der Standford University teilnehmen kann. Dabei handelt es sich um einen Zusammenschluss tausender Rechner, die gemeinsam an der Ursache schlimmer Krankheiten wie Krebs und Alzheimer forschen. Weitere Informationen findet man auf den
Seiten von ATI.
Wichtigste Neuerungen:
