AMD has announced that it plans to release a free ATI Catalyst driver update that instantly unlocks new ATI Stream acceleration capabilities already built into millions of Radeon graphics cards, offloading tasks from the CPU so as to accelerate system performance

Don't care if my GPUs can't fucking play games or do crossfire correctly.

is this CUDA for ATI cards ?

maybe that will make the ATI cards into Fusion chips. That'll be AMD's secret weapon.

GPGPU is going to be a great addition to the 4800 series. Hopefully later Havok GPU acceleration will come next

If you guy get a chance you should check out the AMD Froblins Demo, it's very impressive.

Fill this out and use 8.10 for now.

ATI Stream uses Brook+, not CUDA.

Either that, or he just sucks with computers.

Will this driver increase performance of my HD 4870?

Similar to the off-load to the CPU capability in the NVIDIA cards? Because in the NVIDIA's CP there's a Threaded Optimization option which is turned to Auto be default. It's either that or something more along the lines of CUDA/GeForce PhysX, if it's comparable to what the GeForce PhysX acceleration can do, but in even more games which use Havok, then it will be quite a nice advantage over NVIDIA's current offerings.
