AMD is 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. Onder aan deze posting staan zoals gebruikelijk de directe links naar de pagina's met de beschikbare downloads.
