A few minor tweaks


AMD has released a new version of its Catalyst driver, the 9.9. The new driver supports Radeon HD 2000, HD 3000 and HD 4000 series card and only features some minor tweaks.

The new driver doesn't bring any new features and even the new .inf file doesn't include the new HD 5800 series card that should come out on September 22/23rd, depending on the region. It looks like the next Catalyst driver is the important one as the 9.9 brings anti-aliasing support for Ghostbusters game, ATI CrossfireX for Resident Evil 5 and a fix for graphics corruption in Sims 3 game.

The rest of the new tweaks include fix for CCC which now responds properly after exiting quick adjust video settings, edge enhancement and de-noise sliders in Catalyst Control Center which no longer lags or appear out of sync with mouse movement, proper HDMI detection as DTV (HDMI) instead of DTV (DVI) when the HDMI display is hot-plugged for the first time and some minor tweaks with Cyberlink's MediaShow Espresso after transcoding process.

The rest of the bug fixes and tweaks can be found in release notes here where you can also find the driver as well.
