AMD said Tuesday that it plans to release its Catalyst 8.3 software driver on Wednesday, which will provide official support for its hybrid graphics and CrossFireX technologies. AMD, which launched the foundation of its "Puma" and "Cartwheel" platforms -- the 780G chipset -- at the CeBIT show in Germany early Tuesday morning, said the new Catalyst software would provide support for CrossFireX quad- and three-GPU support for Windows Vista, as well as enable Hybrid Graphics technology. "AMD packed ATI Catalyst 8.3 with a double-barreled set of leading technologies to simultaneously push the ultimate visual experience to new heights and to a wider population of PC users," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president of AMD's Graphics Product Group, in a statement. "We deliver industry firsts that make a visible difference to PC users, whether it's CrossFireX and the first ever quad-GPU performance on Windows Vista, or ATI Hybrid Graphics that bring a new level of performance to mainstream PC platforms."
