Catalyst 5.13: ATI’s Video Domination?

December 16th 2005 | Graphics Cards

Catalyst 5.13 represents the greatest leap in video quality technology for ATI since the original Mach64-VT. It brings sophisticated diagonal filtering, basic noise reduction, and the ability to detect unusual cadences. ATI marketing told us about "video dominATIon" and we have to agree that Catalyst 5.13 brings ATI to the top of the PC video world.

One of the best features of the Catalyst 5.13 is that the software is a free upgrade. As long as you have DVD software that supports DXVA, the AVIVO video processing will work.

..The video engineers at ATI deserve a big holiday bonus. They’ve made a big leap in performance and will make Catalyst 5.13 free for download on December 22nd. Perhaps the greatest benefit of AVIVO technology is that for most of FiringSquad’s readers, it’s an added bonus. Most people aren’t buying the X1800XL for video performance alone – they’re buying for it for the flagship gaming performance.
