AMD Catalyst Receives Windows 8 Certification
AMD today announced that the company has received Windows Hardware Certification (WHC) for an AMD Catalyst graphics drivers with full support for the new WDDM 1.2 driver model on Microsoft Windows 8. This is great news, but we all knew this announcement had to be coming!
This landmark moment reflects both our commitment to AMD Radeon graphics customers, and our vision of providing quality hardware/software solutions for Microsoft Windows products. Formerly known as the Windows Logo Program, WHC is a rigorous mark of compatibility and reliability for products intended for use with Microsoft Windows. It also allows AMD to serve as an official partner in the upcoming Windows 8 release, use the Windows 8 Compatible logo (seen here), and offer the drivers on Windows Update. Our certified driver has been successfully tested against several families of AMD Radeon, AMD Accelerated Processing Units (APUs), and AMD FirePro products. Well be able to detail these products in the days ahead.
