Bug Online

AMD se svojevremeno zavjetovao da će nove verzije drivera za svoje grafičke kartice isporučivati korisnicima na mjesečnoj bazi. Nove revizije doista su stizale, no umjesto početkom mjeseca kao što bi se dalo pretpostaviti, tek krajem mjeseca. Nakon par godina ovakve kadence izdavanja drivera, AMD je bacio ručnik u ring te nedavno objavio da će novi driveri stizati u neujednačenom ritmu, kada se za to pojavi potreba.

Prvi plodovi ove strategije korisnici su dobili priliku isprobati danas. AMD je naime na službene stranice postavio Catalyst 12.6 WHQL drivere. Novi Catalysti krpaju nekoliko neugodnih bugova kao što je rušenje GPU-ova koji podržavaju ZeroCore tehnologiju kada računalo prijeđe u S2/S3 Sleep mod, smrzavanje ekrana u Call of Dutyu: Black Ops na određenim CrossFireX konfiguracijama i slično.

Hrabriji također na raspolaganju imaju beta inačicu Catalysta 12.7 koji osim spomenutih zakrpa donose i solidna povećanja performansi u popularnim igrama kao što su Skyrim, Battlefield 3, Batman: Arkham City.
