AMD has released faster new ATI Catalyst drivers for Linux customers of its ATI FireGL professional graphics cards. The 8.49.7 Linux driver provides 33 percent faster OpenGL performance than the previous driver, claims the company.
The drivers support the ATI FireGL V3600 professional card (pictured above), as well as the high-end ATI FireGL V8650, which offers a 2GB frame-buffer memory configuration. The driver is also said to be compatible with the consumer-level ATI Radeon graphics card.
