Driver ATI Catalyst 10.3 disponibili

Dopo aver presentato la scorsa settimana la release Catalyst 10.3a Preview, ATI ha aggiornato il proprio pacchetto driver ufficiale con la versione 10.3 dotata di certificazione WHQL. A differenza dei driver precedentemente rilasciati troviamo tutte le ottimizzazioni prestazionali già inserite, con l'unica differenza data dall'assenza delle ottimizzazioni specifiche per il gioco Alien Vs Predator e per le configurazioni dotate di scheda ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6.

Il download è disponibile ai seguenti indirizzi:

Catalyst 10.3 Windows Vista - 7 32bit

Catalyst 10.3 Windows Vista - 7 64bit
