CATALYST CREW program

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear xxxxxxxxxxxx,

As I am sure by now you are fully aware ATI has launched a very exciting software suite called CATALYSTâ„¢. I am writing a brief thank you letter about your recent contribution to the CATALYST CREW program. Your input already has and will continue to be of great value to our software. I assure you that we read and prioritize each and every report you send us.
To thank you further I want to remind you that you have been entered in the CATALYST CREW contest. With 10 exciting prizes there will be plenty of winners. The grand prize winner will come to visit us for a day, and will get a personal thank you from the employees of ATI. (Not to mention you will also be one of the first owners in the world of our next Ultra-High End Graphics Card). Please keep the feedback coming and let your friends know about it.

The success of the CATALYST CREW initiative is based on you. You are all part of the ATI family, and together we will strive for excellence. Based on your initial feedback, we realized there was an issue with the CATALYST driver version 02.1. This issue involved a thick fog in the popular game Grand Theft Auto 3â„¢. Since so many of you reported the problem in the first few days of the CATALYST launch, we were able to identify and address this issue immediately. ATI has issued a patch to the CATALYST drivers, which can be found here http://www.ati.com/online/campaigns/catalystpatch.html. Such an unprecedented turn-around would have been impossible without your feedback!

Thank you,
Terry Makedon
CATALYST Product Manager
ATI Technologies Inc.

CATALYST is a great success. Here is what the press has to say:
From www.anandtech.com
"…with the CATALYST drivers you also get a new set of OpenGL/Direct3D tools that let you control all of your card's features (e.g. Anti-Aliasing, Anisotropic Filtering, Texture Details, etc…). ATI has truly raised the bar in terms of what we expect from configurability of drivers and now we turn to NVIDIA for an adequate response."

From www.HardOCP.com
"Catalyst definitely paves the way for future ATI GPUs and better community acceptance of their overall product line. Good going ATI."

"ATI is changing, that much we think we can all agree on. They are more aggressive than ever in getting the end user what they want. They had serious driver problems in the past, but it is safe to say those problems are gone...for the moment."

From Computer Source Magazine
"The driver updates alone has helped keep the Radeon 8500 a viable product much longer then you may have expected-the past five updates have helped prove that fact. Radeon owners should feel vindicated on this fact alone, but now they have even more to cheer about."

From www.HotHardware.Com
"When it comes right down to it, the improved driver control panels and the inclusion of the new SmartGart diagnostic utility are the real winners here. Making the software easier to use while increasing reliability and performance is where the real benefits of the Catalyst software lie. The best way for you to decide is to go and see for yourself what ATI has done."

From www.tech-report.com
"ATI told us they would do better, and they've kept their word."

sounds pretty good anyone else get this ...
 
Hey.. that's really nice to see. Glad you got a response and that they seem to be doing something about it.

A shame though that they have to work for GTA III compatibility! The game is awesome, but as a port it's terrible... :eek:

MuFu.
 
see

Yea i'm told they are promoting the driver feedback link and what not trying to get patchs out quickly which is really cool .
