Windows的AMD催化剂12.4版本发布，亮点如下：
CHH的cnnblike 翻译的部分


新的特性：
1、提供对WinXP的支持：包括7900 7800 7700系列
除了先前版本中对于Win7和WinVista的支持，催化剂12.4引入了WInXP (64/32位)的对AMDRadeon HD7900系列、7800系列和7700系列的支持
2、超取样抗锯齿技术（SSAA）：LOD（LevelOfDetail，细节等级？）图像质量加强
对7900和7800、7700提供该项支持，当通过AMD催化剂中心为DX10和DX11程序开启SSAA和AAA（Adaptive Anti-Aliasing可变抗锯齿技术?）后，LOD图形质量加强技术获得了加强
3、形态学抗锯齿技术（MLAA）：显著的性能加强
对7900 、7800、7700、6000系列、5000系列提供该项改进，MLAA相比上个版本有了80%性能提升。
4、纹理过滤质量的加强
为7900、7800、7700提供该项支持
纹理过滤算法（包括DX9、DX10、DX11的程序）获得了加强，可以用来提神已渲染出的问题的质量，当然，对性能表现没有影响。


我自己试了下我的公版7970，1060/5800 和 I7 2600  4.3G下X模式 得分 X3127（没有截图，打开GPU-Z一瞬间 重启了，房间里面温度高，勉强跑的
比之前12.3 跑的X3104多了23分，唉，多的就不说了，AMD的催化剂就这个吊样
