Driver-update: ATi Catalyst 4.1

Sepiroth hobbelde als eerste naar de submit om ons te wijzen op nieuwe Catalyst-stuurprogramma's van ATi. Vooral de tweakers die een Radeon-kaart hebben aangeschaft om te gamen kunnen weer ongestoord een zooi spellen fatsoenlijk spelen. De ontwikkelaars hebben de nieuwe 4.1-drivers voorzien van bugfixes voor games zoals Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4, Halo en IL2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles. Daarnaast kunnen 3d-artiesten weer vollop modelleren in 3DSMax, Inventor en SolidWorks. Het volledig changelog ziet er als volgt uit:
