    ATI Catalyst 6.5 released

    It's month five of 2006, so it's time for version 6.5 of ATI's Calayst drivers for Radeon graphics cards. New features, performance improvements, bug fixes and known issues can be found in the release notes. Head over to ATI.com to procure your favourite flavour of driver.

    Me and my GeForce 6800GT aren't able to say, I'm afraid.

    See if the release notes mention the cards on which performance improvements are seen.

    w00t, adaptive antialiasing as standard! Been running older drivers with the reg hack thing on with my X800XT-PE; adaptive should be standard AA, period. Anti-aliasing that doen't affect chainlink fences... just daft. Makes leaf textures and other bits and bobs in certain games look much better too. Crackin'.

    The link to Release Notes on this and the front page does not take me to the release notes.
