New Features

This release of Catalyst® introduces the following new features:

* Overlay Theater Mode Update
* Adaptive Anti-Aliasing for ATI Radeon® 9500 and above

Overlay Theater Mode Update

Catalyst® 6.5 introduces a new option for Overlay Theater Mode. The new option, Standard Dual Mode is available for Radeon® X1x00 series of graphics cards. This new feature now allows users to playback video using hardware acceleration when it is played on both displays (clone mode). Hardware acceleration decreases CPU utilization, allowing the PC to run smoother and faster. When using two displays in clone mode, video playback will be identically displayed on both display devices. For Radeon® X1000 series products (Avivo Video) overlay is per-display and true overlay will be used for both displays. For pre-Radeon® X1x00 boards, there is only one hardware overlay, so video on the second clone display device is either software-rendered (i.e. "Same on all" selection) or the Windows desktop is displayed but the video will not show through the color key (i.e., "Standard mode" selection).

Adaptive Anti-Aliasing for ATI Radeon® 9500 and above

Adaptive Anti-Aliasing smoothes out the surfaces in an entire scene unlike Multi-Sample which works only on edge surfaces. Adaptive AA has the ability to work on transparent or opaque texels, like those that comprise a surface texture. Previously this feature was available on the ATI Radeon® X1000 family products. Starting with Catalyst® 6.5, Adaptive AA support is now available to ATI Radeon® 9500 products and above.
Performance Improvements

As with most Catalyst® releases, performance has increased in various situations. The PCI Express bandwidth optimization code in Catalyst® 6.5 brings performance improvements for both the ATI Radeon® X1600 and Radeon® X1300 Crossfire configurations, including:

* Up to 23% gain in UT2004
* Up to 20% gain in Splinter Cell

Well it's good to see them out finally

Ib Al-Musaheb · May 24, 2006, 06:59 PM

Well, it was about time.

And now, I'm looking forward to getting my Omega 6.5 even more!

Judas · May 24, 2006, 06:59 PM

with zero serious issues resolved.

unfortuneatly there are still a pile

Connecting LCD/CRT with lower resolutions supported being connected to the remaining ports on the crossfire cards, disables the ability to increase the resolution on the main crossfire dongle at all until disconnected completely.

Royally screwed Multi Monitor support...

Overdrive royally screwed with showing 0/0 mhz for current and available OR minimum being set WAY to high...

Obvious Crossfire related Support issues..

Well gonna go fire them up and see how hard i crash.. oh well.. no high hopes atm... Nothing i reported was fixed over the past few months.

Spyre · May 24, 2006, 07:03 PM

I suggest you reinstall the drivers, overdrive works for me in crossfire mode

Aurahead · May 24, 2006, 07:06 PM

I wonder if there are any improve performance for us x8xx serie

X700 here and picked up a couple, I need to do more testing but pretty solid so far.

Sandok · May 24, 2006, 07:13 PM

Adaptive AA! w00t!

We'll hold you to this one.

EDIT: BTW, why wasn't the 'Chuck Patch' included? I thought that was something ATI promised.

Spyre · May 24, 2006, 08:12 PM

It will be, they just have to do stuff before it can be merged (short non technical version)

Surprisingly enough its seems to have been completely rewritten in 100% assembly. Startup time is instantaneous even on my P3 600, and memory usage is under 2mb. Strange they wouldn't advertise such a huge update

Gnerma · May 24, 2006, 09:40 PM

Of course I am. The point being CCC isn't going to magically become resource friendly in one release. CCC is what it is, accept it or don't accept it.

Andrew_e1 · May 24, 2006, 09:40 PM

well, at least no more creepy corrupted screen at login yay!

madmatty · May 24, 2006, 09:47 PM

I expect the VIVO WDM Unified driver is still totaly broken so imposable to use the video in functions on my X800 in any app . MCC doesnt even list the comp/svid connections :/

Leekay07 · May 24, 2006, 10:16 PM

Seriously WHERE is the option for profiles. I want my crossfire to work with everything.

Yep just have to accept the 18MB adverage foot print and the we bit of added boot time.

How bad is the performance hit when enabling adaptive AA on the older ATI models?

Depends on the game and how many alpha textures it contains.

tech.Me · May 24, 2006, 11:12 PM

It looks like no change for AGP users...

But oh well. Gonna get these when 3rd party drivers comes out.

brutusmaximus · May 24, 2006, 11:45 PM

Nice to see you over here spyre. Are these much better than 6.4? I had a terrible time with 6.4 and hardlocks in some games, reverting to 6.3 solved it. I guess I should give them a shot I just dont want to hose the system...

CCC is what it is, accept it or don't accept it. __________________ I disable sigs at Driver Heaven. Why? Because your huge ugly sig image irritates me

I had a terrible time with 6.4 and hardlocks in some games, reverting to 6.3 solved it. I guess I should give them a shot I just dont want to hose the system...
