Yeah… If you are StarCraft II gamer and having ATI graphics card, here is a beta driver for you. It supports Anti-Aliasing through the ATI Catalyst Control Center for StarCraft II. This beta driver supports ATI Radeon HD 2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx and 5xxx series graphics card and ATI Radeon Mobility. It also improves performance for Quad ATI CrossFireX for Eyefinity supported configurations.

I updated the display driver to 10.7a beta. But my poor ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB cannot perform well even with 2x AA enabled. Getting less than 30 fps when turn AA on. I think that I need to upgrade to ATI Radeon HD 5870 in order to enable AA and play it smoothly. Anyway, StarCraft II is great to play even without AA turn on. :)

Download ATI Catalyst 10.7a Beta Driver for StarCraft II here.

It will fix Snapdragon devices like HTC HD2 that uses have an issue with OpenGL that makes 3D games very slow and/or stutter. Which mean your HTC HD2 will perform better in 3D now.

Slow 3D performance on your HTC HD2? Poor video performance too? No worry, XDA Moderator, Chainfire created a HD2/Leo 3D Driver Patch for all of us. I did install version 1.1 before forgot install it back after ROM upgrade. So far I don’t have issue with games on original stock driver because I am not a hardcore gamer on mobile phone but desktop. In short, HD2/Leo 3D Driver Patch is a hack to HTC HD2 3D driver. It will improve HTC HD2 3D performance a lot.
