AMD's new driver holds surprises

2600 X2 a mystery

AMD'S NEW Catalyst driver for ATI cards contains a few fixes but also a couple of surprises - new card names.

The latest driver revision, numbered 7.9, includes fixes for all versions of Windows as well as specific improvements related to Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, the demo for which is out this week.

However, in the configuration lines the following cards are mentioned:

Radeon HD 2900 Pro
Radeon HD 2350 Series
Radeon HD 2600 X2 Series

We can fairly easily guess what the first two are - low-clocked 2900 XT, low-clocked 2400 - but what the 2600 X2 constitutes we're really not sure. A higher-clocked version of the 2600, or even the much-rumoured CrossFire-on-a-card version?

We would expect ATI to launch these cards in the next month or so, given their insertion into this month's driver update. Stay tuned, then. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
