A check box called Enable Adaptive Anti-Aliasing within the 3D option of the Graphics Settings, found in the Catalyst® Control Center. A slider bar is also provided and provides two setting; Performance, or Quality. The slider bar is grayed out when Adaptive Anti-Aliasing is disabled.
Stretch Desktop Support for ATI FireMV™ Products
ATI Catalyst® 5.11 introduces Stretch desktop support for both dual and quad output ATI FireMV™ products. This support allows for the operating system to see the display output as a single large display. This allows for the operating system's task bar stretch across all display devices connected to the ATI FireMV™ product line.
Overlay Theater Mode Enhancement
ATI Catalyst® 5.11 introduces an enhancement to Overlay Theater Mode. Overlay Theater Mode will allow for video mode to enabled automatically when a TV is connected as a secondary display device. Enabling video mode automatically sets the display to 720x480 and improves the video playback on standard Televisions.
Catalyst® Control Center Enhancement
ATI Catalyst® 5.11 introduces a Catalyst® Control Center enhancement that will allow users to switch between display modes. When using a multiple monitor system the feature will provide hot-key shortcuts that will allow users to switch from clone mode to extended desktop mode, and the ability switch between display devices
CrossFire™ and the ATI Radeon® X1300 series
Catalyst® 5.11 introduces CrossFire™ support for the ATI Radeon® X1300 series. CrossFire™ provides the ultimate multi-GPU performance for all 3D applications by permitting users to run 2 Radeon® X1300 graphic cards in the same system with no special interconnection required between the two cards (other than your PCI Express Motherboard).
Performance Improvements
As with most Catalyst® releases, performance has increased in various situations.
The ATI Radeon® X1800 has massive gains in OpenGL when 4X Anti-aliasing is enabled. Increases include:
Doom 3 performance improvement of up to 38%
Quake 4 performance improvement of up to 60%
Older OpenGL titles such as Quake 3, Arena, and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, have performance improvements of up to 50%
The ATI Radeon® X1300 has a performance improvement of 10-15% in Quake 4.
The Vertex Shader has performance improvement of 3-5% across multiple products.
