AMD Unveils Powerful New Catalyst 15.7 Driver for Intuitive Windows 10 Experience Across AMD APU and GPU Solutions

Verfasst vonDr@

der neue AMD Cata­lyst 15.7 Trei­ber sorgt für naht­lo­se und intui­ti­ve Unter­stüt­zung von Win­dows 10 sowie der DirectX 12 API und ermög­licht Nut­zern das Bes­te aus ihren AMD APUs (Acce­le­ra­ted Pro­ces­sing Unit) und Gra­fik­kar­ten her­aus­zu­ho­len. Mit dem Update wird unter ande­rem das Strea­ming bei hoher Auf­lö­sung (4K und höher) dank hard­ware­ba­sier­tem HEVC Deco­der möglich.

Leis­tungs­op­ti­mie­rung und inno­va­ti­ve Fea­tures ermög­li­chen dabei eine erst­klas­si­ge Nutzererfahrung:

  • Frame Rate Tar­get Con­trol (FRTC) ermög­licht die Fein­ab­stim­mung der Gra­fik­kar­te für sta­bi­le und gleich­blei­ben­de Leis­tung bei Spie­len mit Echt­zeit-Bild­fre­quenz­steue­rung, wodurch die maxi­ma­le Bild­ra­te wäh­rend des Spie­lens begrenzt wird. Dadurch wer­den der Strom­ver­brauch der Gra­fik­kar­te, die Sys­tem­aus­las­tung sowie die Umdre­hungs­zahl des Lüf­ters gesenkt, was zu einem geräusch­ar­men Betrieb führt.
  • Vir­tu­al Super Reso­lu­ti­on (VSR) sorgt für eine ver­bes­ser­te Bild­qua­li­tät in hoher Auf­lö­sung. Das neue Update unter­stützt die AMD Rade­on™ R7 260 und leis­tungs­stär­ke­re Gra­fi­kar­ten sowie die Desk­top-A-Serie 7400K und höhe­re APUs mit Ein­zel- und Multi-GPU-Konfigurationen.
  • Super Sam­ple Anti-Ali­a­sing ver­hin­dert Tearing ohne Ver­zö­ge­rung und War­te­zei­ten. Die­se Funk­ti­on ist nun auch für Cross­fi­re™ Model­le ver­füg­bar! Hier­zu wird ledig­lich eine Free­Sync kom­pa­ti­ble AMD-Kom­po­nen­te und ein Free­Sync kom­pa­ti­bler Moni­tor benö­tigt. Eine voll­stän­di­ge Lis­te der ange­kün­dig­ten Moni­to­re fin­den Sie hier.

 

Signi­fi­cant Per­for­mance Opti­miza­ti­ons and Inno­va­ti­ve Fea­tures Enable Pre­mi­um User Experience

SUNNYVALE, CA — (Mar­ket­wired) — 07/08/15 – AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announ­ced its new AMD Cata­lyst™ 15.7 Dri­ver update deli­ve­ring seam­less and intui­ti­ve sup­port for Win­dows® 10 and the DirectX® 12 API, and is a pri­ma­ry ingre­di­ent for users to get the most out of their AMD APU and GPU solutions.

The AMD Cata­lyst 15.7 dri­ver is a foun­da­tio­nal dri­ver that will help enrich the user expe­ri­ence through more relia­ble per­for­mance, inno­va­ti­ve fea­tures and tech­no­lo­gies. The AMD Cata­lyst™ dri­ver will be ful­ly inte­gra­ted with Micro­soft® Win­dows 10 as part of the Win­dows dri­ver update component.

AMD APUs and Rade­on™ GPUs run­ning Win­dows® 10 will be able to deli­ver a high­ly advan­ced enter­tain­ment expe­ri­ence by making games and strea­ming video look bet­ter than ever; making the PC expe­ri­ence more per­so­nal, more pro­duc­ti­ve and seam­less across devices.

A com­pre­hen­si­ve set of key AMD enab­led fea­tures include:

  • Abili­ty to stream con­tent at the hig­hest reso­lu­ti­ons (4K and bey­ond) thanks to hard­ware-based HEVC deco­der1
  • Acti­vat­ing Micro­soft® DirectX® 12 and AMD’s Free­sync™ Tech­no­lo­gy will help make your games look gre­at on your AMD-based PC run­ning Win­dows® 10
  • Respon­si­ve resu­me times powered by AMD and Win­dows® 10 let you spend less time wai­ting and more time doing becau­se your PC wakes up from sleep quickly.
  • Win­dow Dis­play Dri­ver Model (WDDM) 2.0 works with Win­dows® 10 to redu­ce the dri­ver workload on gra­phics hard­ware. Dis­play modes can be chan­ged quick­ly and wit­hout the bother­so­me fli­cker that Win­dows users had to endu­re in the past.

The launch of the AMD Cata­lyst 15.7 dri­ver pro­vi­des signi­fi­cant fea­ture updates to enhan­ce the end user expe­ri­ence, including:

  • Frame Rate Tar­get Con­trol (FRTC) enables fine-tuning your gra­phics card for more sta­ble and con­sis­tent per­for­mance in games with real-time frame rate con­trol limi­ting the maxi­mum frame rate during game­play — and deli­vers the bene­fits of redu­ced system/GPU power con­sump­ti­on, lower sys­tem temps, and lower fan speeds for quie­ter operation. 
    • Now sup­port­ing AMD Rade­on™ R7 260 and abo­ve GPUS
  • Vir­tu­al Super Reso­lu­ti­on (VSR) pro­vi­des image qua­li­ty enhance­ment to gamers and Win­dows desk­top users (ren­ders at high reso­lu­ti­on then down-sca­les; giving effec­ti­ve Super Sam­ple Anti-Aliasing): 
    • Now sup­port­ing AMD Rade­on™ R7 260 and abo­ve GPUS, as well as desk­top A‑Series 7400K and abo­ve APUS with Sin­gle and Mul­ti-GPU con­fi­gu­ra­ti­ons with more sup­port­ed VSR modes!
  • AMD Free­Sync™ Tech­no­lo­gy eli­mi­na­tes screen tearing wit­hout lag and laten­cy. And now it works in Cross­fi­re™ mode! You just need a Free­Sync capa­ble AMD com­po­nent and a Free­Sync com­pa­ti­ble moni­tor. The full list of announ­ced moni­tors can he found here.

“We are thril­led to deli­ver our latest dri­ver upgrade, making cus­to­mer expe­ri­en­ces with Win­dows® 10 and AMD even more enter­tai­ning and intui­ti­ve than ever,” said Ari Rauch, cor­po­ra­te VP, Soft­ware Deve­lo­p­ment for AMD. “The AMD Cata­lyst 15.7 dri­ver enables a refi­ned user expe­ri­ence, with bet­ter gam­ing, bet­ter strea­ming and video qua­li­ty, and incre­di­ble effi­ci­en­cy, taking AMD’s Gra­phics Core Next (GCN) sta­te-of-the-art archi­tec­tu­re to the next level.”

“We are very exci­ted about what AMD is brin­ging to gam­ing with the new capa­bi­li­ties in the latest AMD Cata­lyst Dri­ver,” said Kam VedB­rat, prin­ci­pal group pro­gram mana­ger, Micro­soft Corp. “With full sup­port for DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 in this latest AMD Cata­lyst dri­ver for AMD APU and Rade­on Gra­phics pro­ces­sors, cus­to­mers can bene­fit from impro­ved mul­ti­th­rea­ded sca­ling and CPU uti­liza­ti­on; redu­ced GPU over­head; and ulti­m­ate­ly richer, smoot­her, more com­pel­ling games.”
