AMD's Catalyst driver package has been a mainstay of their graphics program since the good old days of ATI. Through the years it has seen the incorporation of new proprietary technologies ? including CrossFire, Eyefinity and most recently Mantle ? as well as continual gradual improvements which result in better stability and performance. However in the past week it has briefly broken from its incremental naming scheme to issue a new baseline ? the Catalyst Omega Special Edition drivers.

Chock full of new features for the home and gamers, Catalyst Omega will be a new milestone for performance and from which new AMD Catalyst revision are released. Furthermore it incorporates the technologies which could be critically important in the coming months, allowing AMD a head start before new hardware announcements at CES2015.
