  • Lost Planet DX10 with anti-aliasing improves 11% or greater on Radeon HD2900XT products
  • Radeon HD2600 and Radeon HD2400 (single and CrossFire) show improvements of as much as 6% in 3DMark 2006 and 3DMark 2005
  • Serious Sam 2 with HDR enabled improves as much as 14.5% on Radeon HD2900, Radeon HD2600 and Radeon HD2400 products

  • The default audio device is no longer set to ATI HD Audio after installation of the display driver for the ATI Radeon HD2900, HD2600, and HD2400.
