This is AMD’s first update to their catalyst drivers in the new year with the new version labeled as 7.1. The new drivers resolve issues with game titles Desperados 2, Rome: Total War, Sniper Elite and Splinter Cell Double Agent, as well as fixing the error when launching X-29 applications. The new Catalysts also allow DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA) for video playback when CrossFire mode is enabled.
There are still a few known issues plaguing Battlefield 2 and KOTR II. You may still experience display corruption when playing a DVD or media clip using WinDVD 7, Windows Media Player or PowerDVD 6. As with other recent ATI Catalyst driver releases, this version only supports AMD ATI Radeon 9500 and higher products including Radeon Xpress X1150 and 200 series chipsets.
The latest Catalysts are available for Windows XP, Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and Windows XP Professional x64.
