ATI Releases Catalyst 6.8

ATI has released another new Catalyst driver package for its Radeon 9550 and higher graphics cards. The new Catalyst 6.8 driver package arrives less than a month after ATI released its previous Catalyst 6.7 driver package. This release brings a couple performance improvements due to improved compilers and optimizations. Certain OpenGL games receive performance boosts due to an improved shader compiler. ATI has also further optimized the transform engine to extract more performance. The release notes claim Doom 3, Quake 4, Chronicles of Riddick and Prey performance improve by 6.5%, 18%, 20% and 16% respectively.
