CATALYST 4.3 Driver Report @ Firingsquad

Asmoday · Mar 17, 2004, 01:55 PM

"While the public continues to speculate about ATI’s upcoming PCI Express and graphics plans, ATI’s CATALYST driver team has been busy cranking out new drivers. Each new release this year has added new features, whether its enhanced OVERDRIVE, newer MultiMedia Center software, or what was arguably CATALYST 4.2’s most popular feature, Direct3D setting enhancement, ATI’s most recent drivers have all contained something new to talk about.

CATALYST 4.3 is no exception, as ATI has incorporated SURROUNDVIEW in this driver set. SURROUNDVIEW is a feature that was introduced with ATI’s integrated RADEON 9100 IGP for the Pentium 4 platform. When a RADEON 9100 IGP-based motherboard is paired with a dual display card like the RADEON 9800, up to three displays can be used simultaneously by the end user. SURROUNDVIEW is supported by the entire RADEON 9x00 family (excluding the RADEON 9700 and RADEON 9100), giving end users with one of these graphics cards or motherboards, a tempting excuse to upgrade."
