ATI Catalyst 4.7 Performance Analysis

 

"Today sees the release of the latest Catalyst graphics card drivers from ATI in the shape of Catalyst 4.7. We had quite a lot of good feedback from our first article regarding the 4.5 vs. 4.6 and thanks to our friends from ATI (namely Terry Makedon – thanks mate!) we have the chance to take a look at the drivers a little earlier than usual just in time for the release today."
