In two months time a lot of Catalyst drivers have been released and things now are somewhat of a crazy situation..
Only telling about 9.10, 9.11 and 9.12 based..
See it:
Note: i base month based on 8.66=9.10 8.67=9.11 8.68=9.12 ..
9.10 beta AMD 58xx launch day (8.660) (search MSI)
9.10 beta AMD 57xx launch day (8.660) new beta (search hotfix AMD 57xx in AMD KB)
9.10 WHQL (Windows 7 launch day) (8.661?)
9.10 NFS Shift and Hemlock driver (8.663) (search in web for it)
9.11 OpenCL beta (8.670)
9.11 WHQL (8.671)
9.11 Dirt2 CrossfireX hotfix (8.673)
9.12 beta (8.68) beta for WinXP leaked
My advice is stay with 9.11 WHQL normal user.. 9.11 Dirt2 hotfix for testers or want to play Dirt2 and for testers in Windows XP 9.12..
All of that excepting NFS and Hemlock users to stay with 8.663?
9.12 seems to include a lot of OpenGL 3.2 extensions and 10.1 extensions..
also has CAL 1.4.492 newer than required for OpenCL 1.4.467..
also note for Linux guy of VAAPI XvBA names testing fglrx 8.69 (so 10.01)
also note guys of Unigine Heaven benchmark name Linux demo using tesselation are hoping for a January release pending AMD drivers supporting it (I still don't know if they are waiting for full OpenGL 3.2 support, or DX 11 tesellation ext as tesselation for 4xxx cards is presently supported trough propietary extension..)
So I hope 10.01 to be a good driver for OpenGL users (OpenGL 3.2 and 5xxx extensions).. as good as 9.1 was (supported 3.0)
