I vanlig ordning publicerar AMD en ny drivrutin varje månad. Denna gång har turen kommit till Catalyst 11.9 som innehåller en mängd buggfixar (se ändringsloggen nedan), men bara en enda huvudnyhet: stereoskopisk 3D via AMD HD3D med skärmar som ansluts till Displayport.

Den som spelar Battlefield 3 rekommenderas dessutom att fortsätta använda Catalyst 11.10 Preview, som släpptes tidigare under veckan. Visserligen fungerar den nya drivrutinen, men testversionen skalar bättre i Crossfire och har även stöd för kantutjämning.

Catalyst 11.9 passar till Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 samt Linux och finns att ladda ned från AMD:s webbplats.
