ATI Catalyst Control Centre 7.3

[The_gas]

Every month, us lucky Ati owners get some new drivers with increased performance in the latest games. This month is no different.

The image quality is even better than 7.2.

ATi Catalyst 7.3 has leaked on the net. Version number is 8.351.

We did a short test on our AMD 690G (ATi RS690) board. We noticed that the image quality has improved tremedously. Previously, the image quality in our HQV test reveals the weakness of the drivers 8.33 and 8.34. With this new version which we forced installed into the sytsem, we are able to get almsot perfect scores for all the Cadence test (8 x 5= 40 points). In addition to that, we are able to get 3:2 detection lock in within 2 secs. Previously, it was all moire and looks terrible with earlier drivers.
