ATI Catalyst for Windows

ATI Catalyst is a software suite and driver pack designed by ATI to make the most of your ATI graphics hardware. It ensures that your graphics drivers are up to date and compatible with your system, offering improved stability and performance. The suite includes optimisations for popular games, providing performance increases that would not be achieved with just the drivers. Additionally, it offers non-gaming features such as Steady Video, which stabilizes images, and decode acceleration for improved playback of popular video formats.

However, there are a few things to be aware of. While ATI Catalyst is an improvement over downloading drivers individually, the game optimisations can sometimes cause glitches and crashes. These issues are usually resolved in updates, but they do exist. Furthermore, the optimisations are only available for a select number of games.

Overall, ATI Catalyst is a useful software suite for ATI graphics hardware users. It ensures the latest compatible drivers, offers game optimisations, and includes additional features for image stabilisation and accelerated video decoding.
