AMD releases ATI Catalyst 10.3 drivers

Many performance enhancements and OpenGL 4.0 support.

AMD/ATI has released the full mainstream version of its Catalyst 10.3 graphics drivers.

The update has a ton of performance enhancements, bug fixes, and new features. There is support for 3D stereoscopic glasses and many new ATI Eyefinity capabilities.

It is now possible for Eyefinity to control colour, brightness and contrast on monitors individually and create more than one Eyefinity group from multiple monitors. A bezel compensation feature adjusts occupied pixels in multi-screen setups, and there's improved display configuration switching.

This is the first release to bring ongoing support for ATI Mobility Radeon graphics chips, which means you do not have to look for updated display drivers through a notebook manufacturer or elsewhere.

You can download your copy of the ATI Catalyst 10.3 drivers here.

While you're at it, if you have a graphics card from the ATI Radion 5000 series you might want to have a play with the OpenGL 4.0 driver preview for those, which opens up 20 new OpenGL extensions.

I've been having trouble with these drivers, games crashing and stuff. Fixed some glitches in BC2, but also added new more annoying ones.

I was under the impression all Stereoscopic 3d support for ATI was done by IZ3D as a free middleware download?

Don't look to be getting openGL with the standard release of ATI's catalust 10.3 you need to find the preview drivers

but that aside so far so good farcry2 looks real good under dx10 mode with everything turned up to the max and apparently i now get 12FPS avg more than i did before on my HD5770 which is what i like to see

@nukejockey "Fixed some glitches in BC2, but also added new more anoying ones."

I don't know if you are already aware, but ATi have now addressed this issue and released another patch to resolve BFBC2 glitches.

If you are running Windows 7 64-bit then go to this link and download the update - http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=win7/windows-7-64bit
