AMD OverDrive and CrossFire Come To Linux

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

Seems that ATI/AMD is becoming more and more Linux friendly.

[Today they announced] CrossFire and OverDrive support for Linux [through Catalyst 8.8 drivers].  Phoronix has a complete run-down on both features — including benchmarks — in their AMD OverDrive on Linux and ATI Radeon CrossFire On Linux articles. Other features were also introduced in this update such as Linux 2.6.26 kernel support, Adaptive Anti-Aliasing, and other fixes.
