AMD has released the Catalyst 10.3 WHQL driver and it brings the many and substantial performance optimizations we discussed earlier, along with some new features. The focus is on Eyefinity where AMD has tuned the multi monitor technology in many ways, with better handling of monitor bezels and individual color settings and easier switching between monitor configurations.

Among the performance optimizations we see how both Radeon HD 5000 and HD 4800 gets boost with everything from 2% to  30% in extreme cases. Some of the games that will run better with AMD’s latest generations of graphics cards are Left 4 Dead 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. – Call of Pripyat, DiRT2, Company of Heroes, Crysis Warhead and more.
