ATI has pumped out their latest drivers for their graphics cards, Catalyst 10.2, bringing a few big additions (unlike some of the last drivers). 10.2 packs a lot of new features for those who have a CrossFireX setup; application profiles are now supported, ATI PowerPlay power saving technology will now work if you have a CrossFireX setup with some HD 5000 series cards and ATI Eyefinity is supported as well on HD 5000 series CrossFireX setups.

In non-CrossFire news, DisplayPort audio is now supported as well as openSUSE 11.2. For the full list of benefits as well as what they do, check below. Otherwise go ahead and download the drivers from the usual source.
