ATi Catalyst-Treiber 3.7 zum Download freigegeben

4.9.2003 22:43 Uhr

Nachdem gestern schon gemunkelt wurde, dass ein neuer Catalyst-Treiber für alle ATi-Grafikkarten ansteht, ist es nun soweit. Wie immer kurz nach der Veröffentlichung der Release Notes hat man nun die Files auf den Server geschoben. Laut Release Notes wurde wieder eine Menge gefixed und verbessert.

Wer genaues wissen will, führt sich die Catalyst 3.7 Release Notes einmal zu Gemüte. Der Bildschirm-Treiber ist knapp 24 MB groß und liegt jetzt in Version 7.93 vor. Erstmals ist das Control Panel ebenso wie der TV WDM Capture Treiber bereits im Komplettpaket Catalyst 3.7 enthalten, alle Files können aber auch separat herunter geladen werden. Letztere Möglichkeit ist vor allem für Internet-Nutzer mit einem Modem oder Vergleichbarem interessant, da dort zum Beispiel der Treiber nur knapp 8MB groß ist. Dementsprechend haben wir alle Files in unser Archiv aufgenommen. Als Anhang die lange offizielle Liste der Fixes:
