ATi Catalyst 8.10 released


Recommended Posts

huh

the last one was 8.9

it should be 9.0 not 8.10 which is 8.1 really >.<

The primary version number is based on the version (year possibly too?), and the second number is the month it was released. From what I understand they do a monthly release. Thus their revision numbers for this version will go from 8.1 (January) - 8.12 (December). There release version for January 2009 should be 9.1 if I'm not mistaken.

Thus 8.10 = Version 8 Month 10 (October).

that make some sense

Currently AMD does not provide any driver support for Mobility Radeon™ products. All driver and technical support for Mobility Radeon™ products is provided by the original laptop or notebook manufacturer. The drivers that are available for download at ati.amd.com are for desktop products only.

This is why I absolutely hate ATI/AMD. ATI isn't providing support, and neither is Gateway, my manufacturer.

My next laptop is going to be Nvidia.

Anyone know if you have to have the CCC installed to modify the fan speed on the 48xx cards -- or can you do this with just the basic driver installed?

I'm guessing you need the CCC as you control the fan speed in the "ATI Overdrive" section.

I've done something similiar to install Catalyst 8.8 on my Macbook Pro (ATI X1600) and it works like a charm.

I have an 8800m GTS 512 in my laptop. Nvidia don't support it, HP do. Laptop graphics chips come under the responsibility of the manufacturer of the laptop, not the manufacturer of the graphics chip - same for ATi and nVidia.

damn so the only cards to get fan control are the 4xxx series what a f**ken crock i think i'll be stickin to just the driver + ATI tray tools for my fan speed control then

>scratch<

i've not found any mention of fan speed control for 4xxx cards only so i'm assuming its for any radeon with an adjustable fan on it

It does if you use Ubuntu (Intrepid): http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=arti...t_811&num=1

Though I dislike having one linux distro take precedence over others.

Cool, I suppose they simply didn't update their website. I don't think it should matter what distro you use for x drivers ;)

The primary # does indicate the year. The first Catalyst driver ever was labelled "02.1" as it was released in 2002. (When the Radeon 9700 ruled as king. How time flies!)

The secondary number indicates the release but ATI has stated it does not necessarily indicate the month. That is, they've always released 12 drivers in a year but they do not necessarily release one once a month.

Not really, the 8.10 linux driver on AMD's website does not support xorg 7.4. Canonical (i.e. Ubuntu) have been given a beta that has the required support, and that's through the restricted drivers option in Intrepid. There's a difference in version numbers too, the version Ubuntu has is 0.001 higher than the one the AMD website provides (8.543 vs 8.542, I believe). From skimming over Phoronix's forums, people have largely been unsuccessful to get this driver to work on other distros (Fedora, Gentoo, etc).

    • I was using searxng for about a year , self hosted, but results were starting to timeout and eventually it became unusable so I switched to degoog. Much better for my needs, more polished and add-ons like maps and calculations etc

    • Hello, I am not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel's, but as I understand it, that's a mid-range CPU from about three years ago.  I would think it to be fine for everyday casual-type use.  A larger SSD might be better, but with storage prices these days that's a decision that has to be carefully thought about.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
