ATI Catalyst™ 10.1 Driver – What’s New?
It’s that time again for the ATI Catalyst™ driver update! We have been getting great comments and feedback from the community because of this blog site. Please continue to send us your feedback as we do review them all*.
*IF you are having technical issues with the ATI Catalyst driver, or your graphics card please report your issues here.
Things are going to start to get very exciting as far as ATI Catalyst drivers are concerned in 2010.
AMD continues to be one of the few companies in the high tech industry to commit to 12 driver updates a year (and all updates are Microsoft WHQL certified). Check our record – for quite some time now each and every month has seen a new ATI Catalyst driver released. Typically these either have new bug fixes, performance improvements, or new features (or a combination of all three).
Over the next few months AMD is planning to roll out some major new features and functionality into the ATI Catalyst drivers. I can’t give you all the specifics now, but will keep you posted on any new features and functions as they become available.
Until then, here are the highlights of what is new in ATI Catalyst 10.1 this month:
Highlights of the Linux ATI Catalyst 10.1 release include:
New Features
Support for new Linux operating systems:
This release of ATI Catalyst driver for Linux introduces support for the following new operating systems:
- Ubuntu 9.10 production support
For more information on ATI Catalyst 10.1 (for Windows® 7, Windows® Vista, Windows® XP, and Linux versions), including all of the resolved issues in this release, please see the ATI Catalyst 10.1 release notes.

Wow ATI you piss me off with these freaking gray screens. Im thinking of returning the ati 5770 and getting a nvidia video card.
New install of Catalyst Control Center displays error when activated, “CLI.Implementation not found….”. Can you help?
Read hopeful comments about new features in Linux driver.
Went to provided link.
No sign of anything Linux.
What gives?
Perhaps it is in the release notes?
No, Linux does not appear in operating systems supported…
Perhaps Linux support discontinued from 10.1 to 10.2?
Until catalyst 10.1 no problems to install. A few days ago I wanted to install the 10.2 catalyst and now I can’t open CCC and I can’t install the 10.2 driver.
Tried all that AMD Game Forum suggests.
Result: A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME
video card: sapphire 4850 toxic
win 7 ultimate
My particular problem has been solved. I persuaded the Devs of the game I like to tweak a bit of code.
Well i have a problem too:)
Before installing the new driver(10.2) i had a perfect computer.No crashes,everything worked PERFECTLY.I have windows 7 64bit ULTIMATE and i have 2 Ati 2900 Crossfire.After installing the new driver all i get is a AMD DISPLAY DRIVER STOPPED AND SUCCESFULLY RESTARTED…My pc freezes for 30 seconds and restarts.This never happens in games,only when i surf in the internet or use skype(vinteo)etc.Any solutions?(Dont thing there is a solution though)
I have also the problem that I’m greeted with a black screen (and a white mouse cursor) after installing
(Win 7 64 /Radeon 4800 10.2 Drivers).
I am having alot of problems on my Ati Radeon 5750, well in this catalyst version. Before, it was fine. But now, I can only run games like Wow, Roblox, etc for a few minutes until the WHOLE thing freezes up and the screen goes blank with little green lines all over the place. The 10.2 driver is the same! I don’t know what’s going on ati, but it’s not pretty.
Having problems here too, both with 10.1 and 10.2. Recently upgraded from an nvidia card to a 5850. Whilst 3D applications run fine, 2D applications, namely when watching videos on flash/windows media player/media player classic on fullscreen the screens will go blank after a while with just a severly lagged out cursor forcing a straight powerbutton hit. Exceedingly annoying as you can imagine, it has prevented me from watching episodes the full way through without restart for weeks.
I get a black screen about 30 seconds after getting to windows that I cannot get to come with what time I have before it goes black I tried to uninstall 10.1 and install 10.2 then uninstalled that and went back to 9.11 and the problem still persists and has not gotten any better my computer is now unusable this is not cool.
