SURROUNDVIEW™ This release introduces multi-adapter, multi-monitor support for the integrated ATI RADEON™ 9100 IGP graphics processor. Using SURROUNDVIEW™ with an ATI AGP graphics card can provide support for up to three independent monitors. This feature is supported on the RADEON™ 9100 IGP with the following ATI products:
ATI RADEON™ 9800 series ATI RADEON™ 9600 series ATI RADEON™ 9500 series ATI RADEON™ 9200 series ATI RADEON™ 9000 series
Note: ATI ALL-IN-WONDER™ variants based on the above will also be supported
Enhanced rotation mode The latest CATALYST™ driver provides Rotation support. The ATI Rotation tab found in the display properties offers four options. Standard Landscape (0°), Rotate 90° Left or Right, or Rotate 180°. When a rotation button is selected, the driver prompts the user to apply the setting or it will time out. A Hotkey can also be assigned to the different rotating options available.
Note: OpenGL hardware acceleration is currently not supported in rotation mode
Performance Improvements As with most CATALYST™ releases performance has increased in various situations. The following performance gains are noticed:
The Pixel Shader performance of our DX9-class products has improved considerably with Catalyst 4.3.
Halo and Tomb Raider framerates are up 3-7%.
Shader-specific technology tests such as ShaderMark show gains in the region of 10-20% or more.
3DMark03's Mother Nature scene runs 2-5% faster across the entire DX9 product line. Our 3DMark03 Pixel Shader 2.0 framerate improves 7-15%.
Aquamark 3 performance has also improved slightly, at higher resolutions.

Lohnt es sich denn, den 4.2 auf den 4.3er upzudaten?

OC God 22 Jahre dabei !
Wenn du keines der Probleme hast, die unter "Issues Resolved" aufgeführt sind, dann ist es absolut überflüssig, den Treiber zu wechseln. Ansonsten lies dir den Rest der Readme durch, ob etwas für dich wichtiges dabei ist.

..ich nutze die Catalyst Treiber nun schon sehr lange (ca 2 Jahr seit dem ich die 8500 habe) und ich habe den Treiber immer einfach nur drüber installiert und bin damit bis jetzt sehr gut zurecht gekommen. Bei mir fehlt werder der SmartGart noch muß ein Standard VGA Treiber instaliert werden. Wenn ich da in anderen Foren immer lese "Treiber immer deinstallieren und Driver Cleaner drüber laufen lassen" und dann Wundern sich einige wieso nix mehr geht.
