AMD heeft nieuwe Catalyst-drivers klaarstaan en zoals gewoonlijk vormen de maand en het jaar van uitgave het versienummer. De drivers zijn beschikbaar voor Windows XP, Vista en 7, met aparte downloads voor 32bit- en 64bit-omgevingen. De nieuwe drivers zijn geschikt voor alle Radeon-modellen vanaf de HD 2400-serie; oudere kaarten zijn op de 9.3-release aangewezen. Onderaan deze posting staan zoals gebruikelijk de directe links naar de pagina's met de beschikbare downloads.
AMD levert sinds kort de CrossFireX-profielen niet meer alleen met de driver mee, maar ook als losse download, zodat updates sneller kunnen worden aangeboden. Nieuw in versie 10.5 is ondersteuning voor beeldschermen met een refresh rate van 120Hz en de ATI Overdrive kan nu overweg met verschillende op de videokaart aangesloten beeldschermen. Uiteraard zien we ook de gebruikelijke lijst met bugfixes terug, gevolgd door een verzameling problemen die wel al bekend zijn, maar waaraan nog wordt gewerkt.
