AMD cancels monthly Catalyst driver releases

AMD has decided to discontinue the monthly graphics driver updates that have been with us for years. Instead the tech giant will now focus on releases that will see light of day "when it makes sense". "With the release of the Catalyst 12.6 Beta driver, AMD would also like to announce that we are moving away from our monthly Catalyst release plan. Our goal is to ensure that every Catalyst release delivers a substantial benefit to our end users; as we have today with the release of the Catalyst 12.6a Beta. We will still continue with the Catalyst naming convention; Catalyst: Year.Month., You just won't see a new driver every single month. We are confident that this will only benefit the end user; you'll only need to upgrade to a new Catalyst driver, when it makes sense," said Andrew Dodd, a spokesman for Catalyst development team at AMD. ATI Catalyst Logo The tradition of releasing new graphics drivers every month dates started with ATI Technologies well before the company was acquired by AMD in 2006. The first Catalyst driver was released in June 2002 just months before the very successful ATI R300 graphics chip was launched. Later the tradition continued even after ATI became part of AMD a few years ago. AMD now says that the cancellation of the monthly releases will allow the company to focus on creating the best drivers possible instead of releasing drivers just to meet the monthly schedule. AMD/ATI drivers have been known to be somewhat buggy for years so this is a great chance to finally release a great all-around graphics driver. So good-bye monthly Catalyst updates. yen sao hitech review hue tourism vietnam weight loss cute girl dac san hue how to solve rubik how to tie a tie how to be pregnant how to cv what is fashion trends visit vietnam ky nang ban hang kinh doanh quoc te ngu phap tieng anh de thi dai hoc luan van ngan hang luan van thac sy bao cao thuc tap Quan tri kinh doanh Anh van giao tiep Bao cao thuc tap ke toan Bao cao thuc tap khach san Luan van bao chi Luan van van hoc Luan van sinh hoc Luan van hoa hoc Bao cao thuc tap xay dung Bao cao thuc tap co khi Bao cao thuc tap cong nghe thong tin Bao cao thuc tap nhan su Bao cao thuc tap quan tri kinh doanh De an giao duc
