The Catalyst 3.8 drivers have a number of new feaures added to them, and we've thrown together a short article looking at the features and what they can do here:

Smartshader Effects does seem quite pointless. However it will be extremely cool to play some fps in ascii green. 8)

Yup - ASCII and Sketch are my favourites so far, however the ASKII mode does make it quite difficult to quit some games!

Anyway, the article has been updated with some performance numbers:

Tried the new drivers at work. No sketch or ASCII effects, only boring colour changes.

Dave I have a question why do you use the "curvy line" feature in excel instead of the straight line? Do you just think it looks prettier?
