Catalyst 6.4 for Windows out
Claims performance increase and upped video quality
ATI likes to invest and play with Video, and this time around it introduced a new driver that can play a better video. It concentrated its efforts on the standard definition (SD) format that everyone watches these days. High definition (HD) is where the hype is but it is still not that well adopted, especially here in Euroland.


ATI also introduced Windows Media Center Edition Video Conversion Utility, a tool that allows you to convert available video content. You can convert between MPEG-2, MPEG-4 SP, MPEG-4 AVC and Windows Media while Ipod Video and PSP video are listed as separate formats for easy recognition.

The firm says it improved the performance on 3DMark06 CPU, 3DMark06 HDR 2 Deep Freeze (SM3.0), Call of Duty 2 on X1900 and Crossfire X1800 cards, Far Cry on X1900 non-Crosfire, Half Life 2 on X1900 non-Crossfire cards and UT 2004 on all X1000 non-Crossfire cards. It reckons some games can get up to five percent faster than with Catalyst 6.3 - always worth a shot. You can get your driver here.
