AMD Catalyst 12.10 CAP1 - Neue Profile auch für Single-GPU-Systeme

AMD hat eine aktualisierte Version des AMD Catalyst Application Profiles (CAPs) veröffentlicht, in dem laut den offiziellen Release Notes Profile für sechs Computerspiele neu hinzugekommen oder überarbeitet wurden. Mit dem neuen CAP wollen die Entwickler diverse Darstellungsfehler beheben. So soll in Max Payne 3 und Natural Selection 2 das Flackern im Menü behoben worden sein, welches zuvor bei Aktivierung von Anti-Aliasing über das CCC auftrat. Darüber hinaus wurde das Flackern auf CrossFire-Systemen in Darksiders 2 und Project C.A.R.S. behoben. Zusätzlich hat das Catalyst-Team an der CrossFire-Performance in Crysis 2 und FIFA 13 gearbeitet. In FIFA 13 soll mit dem überarbeiteten Profil auch bei Nutzung einer einzelnen Radeon-Grafikkarte eine höhere Performance erreicht werden.

Seit dem ATI Catalyst 10.2 hat AMD die ATI CrossFireX Application Profiles aus dem eigentlichen Treiber herausgelöst, sodass Updates dieser Profile wesentlich schneller den Kunden zugänglich gemacht werden können. Die CAPs sind allerdings nicht nur für CrossFire-Systeme interessant, sondern auch für alle anderen Besitzer einer Radeon-Grafikkarte. Beispielsweise konnten die Ladezeiten für neue Karten in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 durch eine Aktualisierung des CAPs verkürzt werden. Zudem wird für bestimmte Anwendungen das Zuschalten von Anti-Aliasing über das Catalyst Control Center ermöglicht oder deaktiviert, wenn Probleme aufgetreten sind. Zukünftig will AMD auch Profile bereitstellen, durch die in bestimmten DirectX-11-Games der Tessellationfaktor automatisch vom Treiber reduziert wird, um so die Rechenlast zu reduzieren. Dies soll in erster Linie bei der Verwendung von kleineren Grafikbeschleunigern überhaupt erst die Aktivierung des Tessellation-Features ermöglichen. Bisher existiert allerdings kein derartiges Profil.

Mit den monatlich veröffentlichten AMD-Catalyst-Treiberpaketen wird wie bisher ebenfalls ein CAP ausgeliefert, welches aber meistens zwei bis drei Monate älter ist. In den künftig im wöchentlichen Rhythmus erscheinenden Updates sind jeweils auch sämtliche vorangegangenen Änderungen enthalten. Um die installierten Anwendungsprofile auf dem aktuellsten Stand zu halten, müssen Besitzer von AMD-Radeon-Grafikkarten demnach lediglich das aktuellste CAP-Update installieren. Zuvor sollte ein eventuell vorhandenes, altes CAP deinstalliert werden!

Das aktualisierte "AMD Catalyst Application Profile", welches zu allen Treibern ab dem AMD/ATI Catalyst 10.2 kompatibel ist, soll folgende Neuerungen enthalten:
