AMD Catalyst 13.11 Beta 6 für Windows und Linux — Bringt Unterstützung für Radeon R9 290X

Verfasst vonDr@

AMD hat den Cata­lyst 13.11 Beta 6 für Win­dows ver­öf­fent­licht, der erst­mals Unter­stüt­zung für das neue Flagg­schiff Rade­on R9 290X und das pas­send neu gestal­te­te AOD-Menü bie­tet. Zusätz­lich ver­spricht AMD mit dem aktu­el­len Trei­ber­zweig 13.2xx unter Win­dows 8.1 gegen­über Win­dows 8 und 7 eine höhe­re Per­for­mance für sei­ne aktu­el­len “Richland”-APUs zu erzie­len. Außer­dem ent­hält das Trei­ber­pa­ket erst­mals auch die AMD Gam­ing Evol­ved App, mit der unter ande­rem die Trei­ber­ein­stel­lun­gen voll­au­to­ma­tisch für die ver­wen­de­ten Spie­le opti­miert wer­den kön­nen. Aller­dings ist im Trei­ber­pa­ket offen­bar nicht der eigent­li­che Instal­ler die­ser App ent­hal­ten, wes­halb die Daten wäh­rend der Instal­la­ti­on nach­ge­la­den wer­den. Wer die Gam­ing Evol­ved App nicht instal­lie­ren möch­te, soll­te die benut­zer­de­fi­nier­te Instal­la­ti­on nut­zen und die App abwählen.

AMD Gam­ing Evol­ved App

Eine voll­stän­di­ge Lis­te der vom Trei­ber unter­stütz­ten Hard­ware sowie sämt­li­cher beho­be­ner und bekann­ter Pro­ble­me kann den offi­zi­el­len Release Notes für Win­dows bzw. Linux ent­nom­men wer­den. Soll­tet Ihr von Pro­ble­men betrof­fen sein, die dar­in nicht auf­ge­führt wer­den, dann könnt Ihr das offi­zi­el­le Cata­lyst Crew Feed­back Form ver­wen­den, um das Trei­ber-Team dar­auf auf­merk­sam zu machen. Eine Hil­fe­stel­lung für das For­mu­lar könnt Ihr hier fin­den.

Die Trei­ber ste­hen für Win­dows 8.1, 8, 7 (min­des­tens SP1) und Linux zum Down­load bereit, wobei jeweils sowohl die 32-Bit- als auch die 64-Bit-Ver­si­on im jewei­li­gen Instal­ler ent­hal­ten sind. Vis­ta-Nut­zer kön­nen den Trei­ber eben­falls instal­lie­ren, aller­dings hat uns AMD zu ver­ste­hen gege­ben, dass Micro­softs unge­lieb­ter Spross in der Qua­li­täts­si­che­rung und Ent­wick­lung nur noch eine unter­ge­ord­ne­te Rol­le spielt.

Das hier zum Down­load ange­bo­te­ne Trei­ber­pa­ket AMD Cata­lyst 13.11 Beta ent­hält bereits eine aktua­li­sier­te Lauf­zeit­um­ge­bung des AMD Acce­le­ra­ted Par­al­lel Pro­ces­sing (APP) SDK 2.8.1, was AMDs Lösung zur Ent­wick­lung par­al­le­li­sier­ter Soft­ware auf Basis der Open­CL-Pro­gram­mier­platt­form ist. Eine instal­lier­te Open­CL-Lauf­zeit­um­ge­bung ist Grund­vor­aus­set­zung, wenn auf der Gra­fik­kar­te oder APU Open­CL-Ker­nel bzw. per Open­CL-beschleu­nig­te Pro­gram­me aus­ge­führt wer­den sollen.

Ach­tung! Wie bei allen Beta‑, Release-Can­di­da­te‑, Pre­view- und Hot­fix-Trei­bern sei auch hier der Hin­weis ange­bracht, dass es sich nicht um eine voll umfäng­lich getes­te­te Soft­ware han­delt, in der auch schwe­re­re Feh­ler noch ent­hal­ten sein kön­nen. Der ange­bo­te­ne Beta-Trei­ber rich­tet sich in ers­ter Linie an Enthu­si­as­ten, die stets die aktu­ells­ten Fea­tures und Opti­mie­run­gen nut­zen wol­len. Er soll­te jedoch nicht auf Pro­duk­tiv­sys­te­men instal­liert werden!

Down­load:

Ach­tung! Das CCC/VECC setzt ein instal­lier­tes .NET 4.0 oder 4.5 vor­aus. Anwen­der, die .NET 4.0 bzw. 4.5 noch nicht auf ihrem Sys­tem instal­liert haben, soll­ten daher zuvor die aktu­ells­te Ver­si­on 4.5 vom .NET Frame­work installieren.
