AMD has made the version 9.6 of their Catalyst drivers available for download. Those drivers are compatible with the graphic cards from the ATI Radeon HD 2000 series on; the support to other versions of Radeon graphic cards wasn’t yet implemented.

The new drivers offer a few optimizations on the performance, but no new specific feature that wasn’t found on the previous versions. There are definitely fps increase on the HD4000 series and optimizations on the CrossFire X configurations, however.
