Adaptive Anti-Aliasing support for the ATI Radeon™ X1000 Series of products
This release of Catalyst™ introduces Adaptive Anti-Aliasing support for the ATI Radeon™ X1000 Series of products. Adaptive Anti-Aliasing substantially improves image quality by anti-aliasing transparent textures.
這是透明反鋸齒，主要針對透明材質的，比如欄杆、草叢等等，但我沒記錯的話，這不是很久之前就有了嗎？為什麼說7.10才說支援X1000系列？
Software CrossFire™ support for the ATI Radeon™ HD 2600 and ATI Radeon™ HD 2400 Series
This release of Catalyst™ introduces software CrossFire™ support for the ATI Radeon™ HD 2600 Series and ATI Radeon™ HD 2400 Series. Software CrossFire™ is only available when two graphics accelerators from the same family (i.e. 2 ATI Radeon™ HD 2600 products) are plugged into a CrossFire™ compatible motherboard with no hardware interconnect between the two graphics accelerators.
Catalyst 7.10多了2600和2400的軟體Crossfire，不用透過橋接線也能串連，靠PCI-E互傳資料，不過就我之前測試的經驗，軟體串連的效能爛到爆。
DX10效能暴走
不過以上更新都是次要的，Catalyst 7.10主要加強DX10遊戲的效能，官方洋洋灑灑列出一堆遊戲，幾乎包辦所有DX10遊戲，而且效能成長都是30%、50％這種驚人數字，讓人難以相信，所以我就小測了一下，以下是我的數據，顯示卡用的是Radeon HD 2900 Pro。
| 項目 | ATI Radeon HD 2900 Pro @ Catalyst 7.9 | ATI Radeon HD 2900 Pro @ Catalyst 7.10 | 成長幅度 |
| COH Opposing Fronts DX10（1280x1024 / High / no AA / no AF） | 26.5 | 36 | 36% |
| Lost Planet DX10 - Snow（High，1280x720 / 4x AA / 16x AF） | 23.6 | 28.1 | 19% |
| Lost Planet DX10 - Cave（High，1280x720 / 4x AA / 16x AF） | 28.8 | 35.2 | 22% |
| Call of Juarez DX10 Demo（1024x768 / Low Detail / no AA / no AF） | 38.2 | 39.5 | 3% |
| World in Conflict DX10（1280x1024 / High / 2x AA） | 14 | 20 | 43% |
要不是真的有測過，我自己也不太相信ATI的「宣稱」，但測試結果太驚人了，不管ATI是怎麼最佳化的，Catalyst 7.10硬是在HD 2000裡擠出30~50%的效能，不用超頻、不必Patch，升級驅動程式立刻讓DX10的遊戲效能大幅成長，雖然大多是針對Crossfire效能做修正，但單卡也都有受益。ATI，幹的好啊！！Catalyst 7.10可能是HD 2000系列推出之後最重要的驅動程式，有玩DX10遊戲的人必裝，必裝，必裝啊啊啊！
