Last month we gave you a sneak peek into the AMD Catalyst™ 11.8 preview driver and highlighted some of the performance gains that you could expect to see in the AMD Catalyst™ 11.8 driver. This month you can experience the AMD Catalyst™ 11.8 driver in all of its glory. With performance gains and new features, we think all you performance enthusiast and gamers out there will be impressed. As many of you know, we have been including GPU over-clocking controls within the AMD Catalyst™ Control Center for quite some time.* This month we have taken the next step and expanded VISION Engine Control Center to include both CPU and GPU over-clocking controls. If you don’t already have a platform based on VISION Technology from AMD, now is the time for you to buy one and take advantage of this great new feature that allows you to get even more performance out of your system.
