Highlights of the AMD Catalyst™ 11.2 Windows release includes:
New Features:
The new Catalyst Control Center features

• Catalyst AI Texture Filtering updates
  
  • The Quality setting has now been improved to match the High Quality setting in all respects but one; it enables an optimization that limits tri-linear anisotropic filtering to areas surrounding texture mipmap level transitions, while doing bilinear anisotropic filtering elsewhere. This optimization offers a way to improve filtering performance without visibly affecting image quality
  • The Performance setting has been updated to address the sharpness of the default Quality setting causing shimmering in certain cases. It now provides a smoother filtering option that eliminates most shimmering while preserving the improved detail provided by anisotropic filtering.
• Tessellation Controls
  
  • Supported on the ATI Radeon HD 5000 Series and the AMD Radeon HD 6000 Series
  • New settings give users full control over the Tessellation levels used in applications.
    
    • The default selection “AMD Optimized” setting is intended to set the best level of Tessellation on a per application basis. The “AMD Optimized” setting is designed to help users get the maximum visual benefit of Tessellation, while minimizing the performance impact associated with enabling Tessellation. Currently no applications have been profiled.
    • The “Use Application Settings” option gives applications full control over the Tessellation level.
    • Users can also manually set the maximum tessellation level used by applications with the slider control
• Morphological Anti-Aliasing support for the ATI Radeon HD 5000 Series
  
  • AMD Catalyst now includes official support for Morphological Anti-Aliasing for the ATI Radeon HD 5000 Series

Support Video Quality settings during Blu-ray 3D playback

• Supported on the AMD Radeon HD 6000 Series
• Requires Blu-ray 3D player software, 3D supported display and 3D Stereoscopic glasses
• Users can now enable the Video Quality settings within the Catalyst Control Center when playing Blu-ray 3D content

Performance Improvements:

• Call of Duty: Black Ops:
  
  • Performance increases up to 11% on ATI Radeon™ HD 5000 Series single card configurations with anisotropic filtering and anti-aliasing enabled
• Batman Arkham Asylum:
  
  • Performance increases up to 4% on ATI Radeon™ HD 5000 Series single configurations with anisotropic filtering and anti-aliasing disabled.

Resolved Issues for the Windows 7 Operating System
This section provides information on resolved known issues in this release of the AMD Catalyst™ 11.2 software suite for Windows 7. These include:

• Water textures may display flickering in World of Warcraft with the AA filter set to “Edge Detect” and Crossfire enabled.
• Visual corruption may be randomly displayed playing Dirt2 in DirectX 11 mode and driving through water.

Known Issues under the Windows Vista Operating System
The following section provides a summary of open issues that may be experienced under the Windows Vista operating system in the latest version of AMD Catalyst™. These include:

• World of Warcraft may fail when alt-tabbing out and into the game.

Known Issues Under the Windows XP Operating System
The following section provides a summary of open issues that may be experienced under the Windows XP operating system in the latest version of AMD Catalyst™. These include:

• Civilization V may stop responding during launch.
• Texture corruption may be observed running Quake 4.
• AVIVO settings my stop working intermittently.

Known Issues under all Windows Operating Systems
The following section provides a summary of open issues that may be experienced under all supported Windows operating systems in the latest version of AMD Catalyst™. These include:

Installing these made my CCC disappear. :|

Everything works fine for me. Using the OCL version.
Oh, and top right desktop corner laggy cursor bug is still there...

woot, no need to hack my drivers to get MAA options.

Fixed my problem. Just had to reinstall. No biggy.

wrong approach!!!!:(:rofl::down::slapass:
New settings give users full control over the Tessellation levels used in applications.

* The default selection “AMD Optimized” setting is intended to set the best level of Tessellation on a per application basis.

Tessellation levels should be set default by “Use Application Settings”. You can always change the settings on the AMD Optimized and reduce the quality of graphics.
Great idiocy to set like this.
Anyone who tests the graphics cards should know how to set Tessellation option -“Use Application Settings” to be fair.
What will be next?? DX9 default selection in DX11 games??

You get the best quality/performance ratio by default. Sounds like a sound approach to me, especially when some applications can go way overboard with tessellation with no noticeable image quality gains.
You don't like it? Pick a different setting. Big deal.

or pick a different vendor..... maybe nvidia..... or even better S3, surely they don't have that tessellation crap ;)

You allow them to reduce the detail by default. Do you have PC or Xbox?
This option you can always change by yourself to lower the quality of graphics if your graphics card can`t cope with Tessellation.
So tell me why you think this is good approach to set like this. To cheat me, you and XXX gamers.

the same thing you had with Anisotropic filtering for a few months.Now they improved finally.
let's be serious you pay for 100% not for 75% of your card.

details you can lower by yourself if you like and not by someone

Check AVP DX11

Application Settings

Now you see what I mean.

the default settings are maxed out, as they should be. I have no clue what you are ranting about. nVidia still has their default texture filtering set to "quality" vs "HQ", other than that, everything else is maxxed out.

I don`t have to.Just don`t like someone is doing me::bananal:

These drivers are amazing... I used to get stuttering in Unigine benchmark pretty bad, but now it is silky smooth.

EDIT: Re-running it with stuff closed and same settings as before.

EDIT2: updated scores with nothing running in the background and default CCC options.

I just installed these drivers, from a clean install because I did a sanitary erase on my ssds. I found that I can't enable crossfire with my 2x5770s. The option is greyed out.. any ideas?

Very nice drivers! Fix my issues with BC2 and MOH. Much smoother too... :up:

I havent seen any screen flashing sense using 11.2, on 11.1 it would happen every once and awhile, especially while playing BC2.

My 2D clocks are now lower >.<
Sometimes webpages will flicker, especially pages with flash now. Laggy cursor bug in top right of screen, kinda flickers around.

I hadn't updated since 10.10, maybe I shouldn't have.

Using 11.2 on W7-64/6970 and XP-32/5870.
Works well on both. Clockspeeds depend on how many monitors plugged in ATM.

I have a 4870X2 and a 4870 in tri-fire and with these drivers it's crash to desktop within a few minutes of playing BFBC2. I'm sure it's the trifire setup. Anything after 10.5 has not worked for me. Went back to 10.5 and got in a good hour of BFBC2 last night no problem. Guess it's time to upgrade these old cards...
