AMD is maandag, vroeger dan we gewend zijn, met nieuwe Catalyst-drivers gekomen. De drivers zijn zoals gebruikelijk beschikbaar voor Windows XP, Vista en 7, met aparte downloads voor 32- en 64bit-omgevingen. De nieuwe drivers zijn geschikt voor alle Radeon-modellen vanaf de HD 2400-serie. Oudere kaarten zijn aangewezen op de 10.2-release voor XP of Vista en 7. Is de kaart nog uitgerust met een AGP-aansluiting, dan kun je hier terecht. Onderaan deze posting staan zoals gebruikelijk de directe links naar de pagina's met de beschikbare downloads. Aangezien deze drivers niet lang na de vorige uitgave beschikbaar zijn gekomen zijn de release notes korter dan normaal.
