ATI Catalyst 8.9 Released, Performance Tested
 

ATI officially released the 8.9 Catalyst Drivers for Radeon HD products. Computer Base puts them to the test in no less than 15 games!

* Call of Duty 4
* Clive Barker's Jericho
* F.E.A.R.
* Gothic 3
* Rainbow Six Vegas
* Stalker
* Unreal Tournament 3
* Assassin's Creed
* Bioshock
* Call of Juarez
* Company of Heroes
* Crysis
* Lost Planet
* World in Conflict

Overall it seems these drivers offer a worthy performance boost if you are still using an older Catalyst driver version, of course the boost is most notable in the recent HD4800 series as ATI works hard to extract every last bit of performance from their new hardware.
