AMD julkaisi Catalyst 12.6 WHQL ja 12.7 Beta -ajurit

AMD uusi ajurijulkaisusykliään vastikään, eikä se nykyisellään julkaise enää kuukausittaisia WHQL-ajureita. Yritys on kuitenkin julkaissut uudet 12.6 WHQL-ajurit, sekä Radeon HD 7970 GHz Editionin myötä tulleet 12.7 Beta-ajurit, jotka tuovat mukanaan mukavia suorituskykyparannuksia useisiin peleihin.

12.6 WHQL toi mukanaan useita korjauksia bugeihin, muun muassa ZeroCoren toimivuuteen unitilan jälkeen ja CrossFiren ongelmiin Eyefinity-käytössä. 12.7 Beta sen sijaan tuo selviä suorituskykyparannuksia peleihin. Esimerkiksi Skyrimiin luvataan parhaimmillaan 25% lisää suorituskykyä Radeon HD 7970 -näytönohjaimilla.
