AMD has introduced it new ATI FirePro 3D graphics drivers and increased 3D graphic performance for professional graphics applications.

While drivers have been available for the Solid State Drives (SSD) commonly used in laptops and notebooks, RAID drivers were not available preventing most larger business from taking advantage of the new SSD technology. One of the primary advantages of SSDs is that they are faster than a mechanical hard drive and they don’t need to be defragmented. SSD SATA drives can reach transfer speeds of up to 3.0 Gbps while supporting hot-plug with asynchronous signal recovery, software settings preservation, […]

In case you don’t already know, PhysX is a real time physics engine that can handle the complex physics interactions so common in modern games. Using this technology can make the games seem more life-like, resulting in a smoother gaming experience with several really cool  visual effects. PhysX support for ATI graphics was not available so gamers using ATI looked for a hack to let them use this technology.  It took a long time for the tinkers to get Physx […]

With the launch of its ANGLE graphics project, Google will provide enhanced 3D graphics without the need for users to download any additional drivers. ANGLE stands for Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine. Its goal is to provide a WebGL OpenGL ES 2.0 API (application Programming Interface) that works over the Microsoft DirectX9.0c API. ANGLE is available under the BSD license and will allow Chrome to run WebGL content on Windows computers without having to use OpenGL drivers. WebGL has no […]

Well, it took Microsoft long enough to accept the fact that no matter what they want, many companies plan to run productions versions of Red Hat Linux on Microsoft’s Hyper-V servers. Of course, it appears that Microsoft has built in limitations, presumably to try and discourage the use of the only real competitor they have in the operating system category. Even with the limitations, this is a major concession from Microsoft which recognizes that if they want to corner a […]

Finally ATI has produced a WHQL approved version of Catalyst 10.3 driver set.

New Features Better mobility support Extended Eyefinity features 3D stereoscopic drivers In addition to the improvements mentioned above, the new driver suite will provide better overall performance for […]

Nvidia has offered an apology to its customers who had experienced overheating problems after installing the last driver update. Nvidia released new drivers for their  popular Geforce graphic cards. This latest driver version is 197.13 and is designed to fix the problem of the fan slowing down or stopping while doing vigorous gaming that was causing the on-board GPU (graphic processor)  to overheat . The problems led to some GPUs and even motherboards being damaged from the increased temperatures. The […]
