Introduction

Being a short month, it comes as no surprise that the latest Catalyst version has hit us a little earlier than usual. As always, we'll run it through our normal array of benchmarks and see if outside of what AMD say we're going to see improvements in, there's anything else that shows us some surprises.

We won't drag this on for long, so let's just have a look at the performance improvements that are mentioned in the release notes and then just get straight into it and see what happens.
