Just received the information that Catalyst 7.1 is now available.
Highlights of the Catalyst 7.1 release include:
Performance improvements: As with most Catalyst® releases, performance has increased in various situations. In this release of Catalyst® Dark Messiah: Might and Magic performance improves as much as 12% on all ATI Radeon X1000 Series products. Read More
New features: Crossfire enhancements Catalyst 7.1 includes Crossfire enhancements that enable the Alternate Frame Rendering (AFR) Crossfire rendering mode by default, enabling performance benefits for all AFR compatible applications immediately (including newly released applications that have not been officially profiled for Crossfire). Future Catalyst releases will add further Crossfire performance gains once new applications have been profiled specifically for Crossfire. Please note that applications already profiled for AFR will not see any performance benefits from this feature. Resolved Issues: Enabling Stereo on a FireGL V5000 no longer results in corruption being noticed on the X-Windows desktop
Running through the package generation installation of the ATI Proprietary Linux driver no longer results in the continue button remaining greyed out when selecting a package to be generated
The ATI Control Panel no longer gets installed when running through the Custom Installation and de-selecting the Control Panel component
Connecting two display devices and switching the overlay to the secondary display device no longer causes aticonfig to fail
