Our express-test of ATI Catalyst 9.5 drivers not only confirmed that the performance does in fact improve in the games and benchmarks specified in the driver release notes, but also revealed some unexpected improvements in a few additional applications.


We didn’t detect any serious performance drops on transition from Catalyst 9.4 to Catalyst 9.5. The only exception is a 4% drop Radeon HD 4770 showed in BattleForge game in 1280x1024 resolution. Therefore, we have every reason to recommend all owners of contemporary ATI Radeon HD 4000 graphics cards to upgrade to the new Catalyst 9.5 driver.
