Publisher's description

From ATI Technologies :

This release for all Radeon family products updates the ATI Display Driver to version 8.04. The unified driver has been further enhanced to provide the highest level of power, performance, and reliability. The Catalyst software suite 4.8 contains the following: Radeon display driver 8.04, Multimedia Center 9.02, HydraVision 3.25.0006, HydraVision Basic Edition 3.25.9006, Remote Wonder 2.3, WDM version 4.07. The driver supports 24 languages.

Release 4.8 introduces the support of Geometry Instancing. This new feature provides assistance when a game has to render many objects where the geometry is highly similar. Geometry Instancing allows the VPU to create multiple objects from a single geometric model, rather than passing an entire new model for each item on the screen. This increases the rendering speed of images such as leaves, or grass. VPU Recover has been improved. In most cases, VPU Recover will fully recover instead of switching to software rendering mode.
