ATI Catalyst 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4 Performance Analysis

The guys down under tested out three months worth of ATI video cards to see which is king on several real games and 3dMark. Looks like there isn't much difference, but 5.4's take the cake on HL2 by less than half a FPS. Now that is ownage.

"We missed a month in our monthly ATI Catalyst driver preview last month which means time around we have not only included the latest set of ATI drivers but the ones we missed last month.

Read on and find out!"
