Title: AMD Catalyst 8.8 Driver, Exciting New Features ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "AMD had delivered same-day Linux support when launching the

Radeon HD 4800 series this summer. This was a first for AMD when

launching a major product revision that there was same-day support

considering for the R500 and R600 (and earlier) generations it had taken

months for any level of support on Linux. This was great to see and the

Radeon HD 4850/4870 performance was terrific thanks to their new OpenGL

driver introduced last September. Today AMD has announced another

Catalyst driver release for Linux and this is arguably the most

significant driver update since last October's release when AIGLX

support was added. Catalyst 8.8 delivers CrossFire support on Linux,

OverDrive overclocking support, adaptive anti-aliasing support, and

other improvements."
