Novos AMD/ATI Catalyst 9.10 (pag 17)

Finalmente.... Já ia sendo tempo de estes gajos sairem da sombra da bananeira... Vamos lá ver se de facto a coisa se confirma. Se for verdade, são muito boas noticias para quem tá agarrado á ati e usa linux.
 
Não se arrependam já de mudar para a nvidia, afinal vai ser a primeira versão a sair com AIGLX. Não esperem perfeições, ainda por cima tendo em conta o historial...

AMD Delivers Significant Graphics Performance and Compatibility Enhancements for Consumer Linux Users

ATI Radeon™ HD 2000 Series, Accelerated Indirect GLX support and increased gaming performance highlight most significant series of Catalyst™ software enhancements ever for Linux users

Sunnyvale, Calif. -- September 5, 2007 --AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced plans to extend its leadership position in graphics software with major enhancements to performance and compatibility for ATI Radeon™ graphics for consumer Linux users. These improvements are planned for subsequent releases of ATI’s Catalyst™ software package beginning in early September. This announcement represents a significant first step in redefining the graphics landscape for Linux consumer users. Moving forward, AMD also plans to accelerate efforts to address the needs of the open source community as well.

“As client computing on Linux continues to grow so has our support and focus on delivering best-in-class performance and compatibility for our products,” said Ben Bar-Haim, vice president of software, Graphics Product Group at AMD. “In the second half of 2007 we plan to deliver the most significant enhancements for ATI Radeon graphics ever for Linux and reaffirm our commitment to consumer users and the community as a whole.”

With the forthcoming Catalyst 7.9 software release in September, AMD will add Linux support for the ATI Radeon™ HD 2000 series of graphics processors. The Radeon HD 2000 series offer a number of compelling new features for Linux users including AMD’s patented unified shader architecture.

In addition to expanded GPU support, Catalyst™ 7.9 is being designed to offer a number of major performance improvements across the board with users seeing up to 90 per cent improvement in such popular titles as Doom 3 and Quake 4 (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=823&num=3). In Q4 2007, AMD’s Catalyst software package for Linux will add support for Accelerated Indirect GLX (AIGLX). AIGLX is an enabling technology that allows Linux users to enjoy a rich visual 3D user interface that provides a more immersive end-user compute experience.

same here =/ tou a ver que vou ter k desinstalar os drivers e continuar com o programinha do feisty
 
eu ate hoje usei as drivers do restricted driver manager +xgl que nem davam para reduzir os clocks da grafica que isto bloqueava logo! e com o xgl algumas aplicaçoes graficas ficavam todas distorcidas!
instalei os novos drivers pelo envy e o desktop ficou com partes distorcidas e tal so dava direito a resoluçao de 1024x7xx
apaguei tudo e desta vez experimentei os drives open source aixgl! tambem nao estava a conseguir por a resoluçao maior mas voltei a reconfigurar o xserver e ja ficou bem, agora nao preciso do xgl corre tudo nem com o compiz, uso menos memoria e activei a opçao que a bateria reduz os clocks da grafica.
notei foi que estas drivers em termos 3d sao piorzitas da para ver pelo cubo a rodar que as vezes aparecem pixeis brancos, mas a comparar com xgl+drivers ati agora está mais leve!

agora so mudo quando as drivers da ATI tenham aixgl!
