AMD Catalyst 1.11 released!

Each month as AMD has released Catalyst driver for Radeon family of video cards, the HD 2400 series fiona newcomers to HD 6900, driver version is 1.11 which indicates the month and year, strength of the completion of this version of the Catalyst Control Center, already seen in part by the previous driver, the resolution of many bugs and improved performance for the last card of the HD 6800 and HD 6900.


The most visible improvements you have on the 2010 F1 game with up to 12 percent more with the HD 6900 and HD 6800 cards in single and filters with AA and AF enabled, while up to 10 percent for the Radeon HD 5800, always in single quality but with filters disabled. Another way in which we see the performance improvements is the latest in Valve's Left 4 Dead 2 where the performance of HD 6800 cards in both single and CrossFire configuration of an 8 percent rise and the rise in single HD 6900 to to 17 percent, but all this with filters off.

AMD has also released a Catalyst 1.11a Hotfix called that in addition to even higher performance, provides users more control of the filter to the tessellation in the Catalyst Control Center. Another novelty is the Catalyst AI feature Texture Filtering. where now the parameter "Quality" is similar to High Quality in all respects except that it enables an optimization that limits the anisotropic trilinear texture to the surrounding areas with the transitions between different levels of mipmap using for the rest scene of an anisotropic filtering of bilinear type.

This optimization should provide "a way to modify the performance of filtering without visibly changing the image quality." Furthermore, it is also being revised setting performance that now offers an option of filtering is designed to eliminate most of the "shimmering" (shimmering texture), while preserving the details offered by anisotropic filtering.
