Catalyst 9.5 Released

AMD releases new ATI Catalyst 9.5 drivers, kind of :: TweakTown

No link to official on AMD's Website, seems their coders are slow, but Catalyst Makers Twitter, and Spyre say this release and the official (Monday) should be no different.

It is official, Read the AMD Forums,

I couldn't wait for the Website to update, I just installed Win7 RC and wanted to make sure everything was fresh, it's all very snappy, I may damn well use this as my prmary os til I get Win7 RTM. (ultimate of course :-D)

Seems the AMD forum thread was deleted. Wait until monday unless you're crazy like me.

I noticed that the driver and CCC version for Windows 7 is the same as the May 5th WHQL package that was released, so no need to update for those who already have that. It does fine with both 6.1.7100 and 6.1.7123.

I will await the official drivers use these at your own risk

I have been posting the ati drivers for all of the members for some time.

As far as i see it Leaked drivers are not classed as official until AMD/ATI has them uploaded on the website.

And just for your info i have seen these hosted on a few websites at least two days ago...

The first rumored release was for the last Wednesday.. I recomend you wait for ATI to release them before downloading.

Well they are the exact same driver. The official and the so called "leaked"

I've been using radeons for a long time too, back when I was mac exclusive =P

The only time they ever leak is when Rage3d gets their hands on them and spreads them Rage3d are probably the hardest core ATI fanbois ever.
