Radeon owners can now download Catalyst 9.6 drivers from AMD's website. There are the usual fixes and improvements but the highlights of the driver update are the following:
  • Company of Heroes – performance gains of up to 25% for the ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series, and performance gains of up to 10% for the ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
  • Crysis Warhead – performance gains of up to 11% for ATI CrossFireX technology in dual configuration.
  • Crysis – performance gains of up to 13% for ATI CrossFireX technology in dual configuration.
  • World in Conflict – performance gains of up to 30% for high settings that were previously CPU limited with the ATI Radeon HD 4800 series.
There does seem to be some good gains on those games so if you are still playing any of the above four, give it an install and see if you get some smoother framerates.
