AMD had delivered same-day Linux support when launching the
Radeon HD 4800 series this summer. This was a first for AMD when
launching a major product revision that there was same-day support
considering for the R500 and R600 (and earlier) generations it had taken
months for any level of support on Linux. This was great to see and the
Radeon HD 4850/4870 performance was terrific thanks to their new OpenGL
driver introduced last September. Today AMD has announced another
Catalyst driver release for Linux and this is arguably the most
significant driver update since last October's release when AIGLX
support was added. Catalyst 8.8 delivers CrossFire support on Linux,
OverDrive overclocking support, adaptive anti-aliasing support, and
other improvements."
