Actualizaciones Al VAPOR: ATI CATALYST 10.9 Y Steam.
Algo novedoso es el que exista un sistema de actualizacion para los controladores de video, no es que siempre sea imperante, pero nunca esta por demas el saber que salen alguna actualizacion y cuales son sus "bondades".
Y resulta que el controlador para la serie ATI Radeon -y seguiremos usando el nombre ATI hasta el ultimo momento que aun exista como marca- Catalyst en su version 10.9 añade la opcion de actualizaciones via el sistema Steam.

Video driver updates made easy: AMD and Valve team up to provide ATI Catalyst Updates on Steam
With today’s exciting announcement from AMD and Valve®, Steam gamers will never again have to worry about finding the most recent ATI Catalyst™ graphics driver. PC gamers can now detect and install the latest ATI Catalyst™ driver for their ATI Radeon™ graphics card directly from within Steam! Gamers using ATI graphics will not only be kept posted on the latest available drivers for their hardware, but with every update they’ll know that they’re getting the overall best possible gaming experience AMD and Valve can provide.
Here at AMD we’re big fans of Steam, and it’s not hard to see why! (And it would appear 25 million people love it just as much as we do.) In five short years, Valve has evolved the Steam platform to become the preeminent destination for easy and fast access to the latest games and online multiplayer play, offering new features to gamers and to developers, taking PC gaming to new heights – and new audiences. This evolution of PC gaming means exciting times for PC gamers, and today’s announcement is another step in that evolution.
AMD and Valve teaming up to make sure that Steam gamers always have the most recent drivers for their graphics cards is just another way that we are showing our commitment to the promise we developed in our Gamers’ Manifesto.
The first ATI Catalyst driver update that will be available via Steam will be ATI Catalyst 10.9.
Me hubiera gustado mas que fuera un sistema interno de actualizacion y no mediante terceros y mas me hubioera gustado que dejaran de usar la mugrienta herramienta de Framework, pero en fin.
Como siempre algunas mejoras y correcciones de errores acompañan a esta nueva version del controlador ATI Catalyst.
