Some ATI videocard owners have had a rough go lately, with complaints of gray screens and vertical line corruption running rampant. The issue prompted AMD to release a hotfix (see here), and going forward, the company promises to do a better job.

Catalyst 10.2, which is due later this month, is supposed to usher in better game performance courtesy of game profiles that AMD says it’s going to focus on. These will consist of separate executable files on AMD’s site, giving ATi owners quicker access to improved performance rather than waiting for the next full-blown Catalyst release, Fudzilla reports. The upcoming driver will also bring better “panoramic gaming” with CrossFireX.

Later on down the line, Catalyst 10.3 will put a bit of focus on improving ATI’s Eyefinity technology. Reports suggest this driver package will implement an easy-to-use wizard to help adjust the layout and compensate for monitor bezels.

Catalyst 10.3 will also cater to Mobility graphics owners, and AMD is said to be working with most of the major notebook manufacturers to make sure everything works as it should.
