Spennende. Bra for AMD og selvfølgelig eiere av HD 2x00 kort.

Hjelp vel bortimot ingenting for meg som enno sit med eit x850pro kort. Denne updaten skal sikkert berre friste folk til å gå for dei nye korta AMD/ATI nyleg har sluppe..

So there's two primary elements to Cat 7.10 on the DX10 front. First, this is the first cut at changes to the base driver, which is what alters the single card performance. Second, the DX10 driver only had app-specific Crossfire implemented and that was limited to a few apps; with Cat 7.10 we now have now ported the "app-compatible AFR" mode across from the DX9 driver and so this mode is enabled by default from Cat 7.10 onwards.
