AMD Catalyst 11.8 Preview с поддержкой OpenGL 4.2

Поддерживаются видеокарты, основанные на чипах Radeon HD 2400 и выше, а также интегрированных (начиная с Radeon 3000), мобильных (с Radeon Mobility HD 2400) решений и продуктов серии FireStream (начиная с 9170).
Список изменений Catalyst 11.8 Preview - OpenGL 4.2 включает в себя:
• Full support for the new OpenGL 4.2 specification. High-lights include:
• Enhanced support for generic read-write memory and high performance atomics in shaders (EXT_shader_image_load_store and ARB_shader_atomic_counters extensions), allowing advanced graphics algorithms to be implemented.
• Increased flexibility in how texture memory is allocated and managed (ARB_compressed_texture_pixel_storage and EXT_texture_storage extensions).
• Improved control and access to geometry instancing for improved performance (ARB_transform_feedback_instanced and ARB_base_instance).
• Improvements to the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL).
• Added control over GPU optimizations related to depth testing (AMD_conservative_depth).
• Improved guarantees about the alignment of mapped GPU memory (ARB_map_buffer_alignment).

Supported video cards based on chip Radeon HD 2400 and above, as well as integrated (from Radeon 3000), mobile (with a Radeon Mobility HD 2400) series of solutions and products FireStream (since 9170).

Obslugiwane karty graficzne oparte na chipie Radeon HD 2400 i wyzej, jak rowniez zintegrowane (z Radeon 3000), telefon (z Mobility Radeon HD 2400) szereg rozwiazan i produktow FireStream (od 9170).
Zmiany Catalyst 11.8 Preview - OpenGL 4.2 zawiera:
• Pelne wsparcie dla nowej specyfikacji OpenGL 4.2. Wysokiej swiatla to:
• Rozszerzona obsluga ogolne odczytu pamieci i wysokiej wydajnosci shaderow atomowe (EXT_shader_image_load_store i rozszerzenia ARB_shader_atomic_counters), umozliwiajacy zaawansowane algorytmy grafiki do realizacji.
• Wieksza elastycznosc w pamieci tekstur jest alokowana i zarzadzany (ARB_compressed_texture_pixel_storage i EXT_texture_storage rozszerzen).
• Lepsza kontrola i dostep do wystapien geometrii w celu zwiekszenia wydajnosci (ARB_transform_feedback_instanced i ARB_base_instance).
• Usprawnienia w OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL).
• Dodano kontrole nad GPU optymalizacje zwiazane z testowaniem glebokosc (AMD_conservative_depth).
• Lepsze gwarancje o wyrownanie mapowane pamieci GPU (ARB_map_buffer_alignment).
