AMD is preparing a brand new Catalyst driver for its Radeon graphics card series. But, at least Vista users, don’t have to wait much as a beta version of the new Catalyst 8.1 has found its way online.

Featuring the 8.452 display driver, the Catalyst 8.1 for both the 32 and 64bit version of Windows Vista comes with support for almost everything released since the days of the Radeon 9550 plus a few cards and IGPs that haven’t been released – the Radeon HD 3200 , 3450, 3470, 3650 and the dual-RV670 Radeon HD 3870 X2.
