I recently had a chat with Terry Makedon and Andrew Dodd in ATi regarding Catalyst, they gave some indepth answers to a lot of important questions.
Allan: Terry on driverheaven each month you release a driver poll asking users to rate the drivers from 1-10, can you share in what way this information is used by ATI internally? Terry: We use that information many ways. First and foremost is to see how successful each release is. Secondly we use this information for our big OEM and AIB customers. They want to see our progress. Third it is used by our bosses to see how big a bonus we get at the end of the year (well not really, but they do look at the date). Here is what my charts look like with the latest data as of the time of this interview. I must admit I?m not happy we went below a 9 rating, and this is something we have to push back up. The last two postings seem to be some of the best of the year. I guess our progress has caused people to set the bar higher for us in the future.
