AMD is keeping up its relentless monthly release schedule for ATI Catalyst drivers, but whilst recent months have disappointed in terms of new features, today's Catalyst 10.2 release and next month's arrival of Catalyst 10.3 look set to make amends. ATI Catalyst 10.2, now available to download* at game.amd.com, brings a number of improvements to ATI CrossFire technology. In an effort to provide better CrossFire support for new gaming titles, AMD has pulled CrossFire profiles from Catalyst's 3D driver and moved them to a separate file that will now be regularly updated via separate updates from AMD.com. Similarly, the graphics giant has removed the multi-GPU code from the 3D driver to a new dedicated multi-GPU driver, paving the way for improved "Fusion" between IGPs and discrete GPUs in future products. CrossFire support has also been enabled for ATI Eyefinity configurations, and multi-GPU users concerned about power usage can also look forward to an "Ultra Low Power State" that lowers the voltage and clock speeds of a second GPU when not in use. Looking ahead, AMD has also revealed a number of new features scheduled to make an appearance as part of ATI Catalyst 10.3. The March release will introduce a monthly release schedule for the ATI Catalyst Mobility suite, and a wave of improvements for ATI Eyefinity - including a wizard that allows users to remove pixels occupied by display bezels, and the ability to adjust colour, brightness and contrast for each individual Eyefinity display.
