The NGO ATI Optimized Driver is a tweaked version of the ATI Catalyst driver. The main purpose is to satisfy the users with better performance and image quality. The Driver has support for all Radeon cards.

This is NVIDIA ForceWare 83.10

83.10 is a beta whql release so please use and abuse it at your own risk of course. We repackaged the drivers towards 17MB. The drivers originally only supported Leadtek cards, yet the .inf has been modified to support all modern GeForce graphics cards which resulted into loss of the that very same WHQL certification. We have pest and virus checked these drivers before placing them on-line and they came out 100% clean.

The archive includes all international files and an easy to use setup.exe for installation.

Have fun.

Intel Matrix Storage Technology includes support for Serial ATA Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), providing advanced features such as native command queuing, hot plug, and power management. Native command queuing, when paired with capable hard disk drives, increases storage performance on random workloads by allowing the drive to internally optimize the order of commands. This provides increased performance for today's multi tasking environments and demanding applications.

Realtek released version 3.81 driver for their ALC AC97 audio chipsets. The driver supports all ALC series audio chipsets from ALC100 up to ALC850 mainly used as onboard sound on various motherboards.

TweaksRUs has released their tweaked version of NVIDIA's Forceware 81.98 WHQL. This time they included nHancer 1.2.2, hence the 'Plus'.

Nvidia has cleared us to release the registry fix information for their 80 series drivers with dual core support that disables this support so that there is no conflict with the Quake 4 1.05 beta patch.

Today ATI released Catalyst 5.13 for your download pleasure.

Catalyst® 5.13 software suite introduces H.264 hardware acceleration for the ATI Radeon® X1800, X1600, and X1300 product line. H.264 is advanced video coding that provides significant reduction in bit-rate compared to standards such as MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. The ATI Radeon® X1800, X1600, and X1300 products provide hardware acceleration for the playback of high-definition content that is encoded using H.264. Using the Catalyst® software suite 5.13, along with the Cyberlink H.264 decoder available from http://www.ati.com/technology/h264.html provides H.264 hardware acceleration.

On Nvidia's FTP server you can see a empty folder 82.12 We waiting for 81.98 and 82.12

What has over 700 benchmarks, more then 30 graphs and takes a week to test? Give up already? Well don?t be lazy and read the title! It is a years worth of ATI Catalyst drivers, if you couldn?t be bothered moving your head a few degrees up.

ALI has a new integrated (All-in-One) driver package on their server . It includes chipset drivers (IDE/AGP) + Audio/LAN/USB and some more.

TweaksRUs has released the XTreme-G WarCat drivers for both 32 and 64 Bit Windows. The WarCat drivers are based on ATi's Catalyst drivers 5.12.

During our look at ATI's AVIVO technnology enablement in CATALYST 5.13, my biggest gripe was with the Canadian firm's decision to limit use of the AVIVO Video Converter application to only Radeon X1800 users, despite the software only using CPU power to deal with transcoding files.

Here's the Beta version of Calalyst 5.13 drivers that are optimized for quality video playback, Avivo, in other words HDTV.

ATI promised us H.264 decode acceleration, offloading some of the most CPU intensive tasks for media PCs today onto their brand new GPUs. ATI also alluded to a transcode utility, which would aid in the conversion between video formats and potentially even accelerating it on the GPU as well.

ATI owners (and prospective owners) must have been good this year because Santa has brought the thirteenth Catalyst driver release of 2005. With this new version, ATI claims that they've raised the bar in video performance and set the stage for worldwide "video dominATIon."

Last week in London, ATI gathered members of the press to show off what will be ATI's final driver release of 2005 - CATALYST 5.13. The name of the game with this driver set is improvements and additions to ATI's video processing abilities, in line with their AVIVO technology. Elite Bastards was there to take a look at what was on show.
