I hope this version will fix my Teamfortress 2 from crashing as it did with 9.5.

Catalystâ„¢ 9.6 brings performance benefits in several cases where framerates are CPU limited.
Some measured examples are:
Company of Heroes – performance improves up to 25% with HD 4600 series
products and below as well as improvements of up to 10% on HD 4800 series

Crysis – performance improves up to 13% in multi-GPU configurations

Crysis Warhead – performance improves up to 11% in multi-GPU configurations

World in Conflict – performance improvements of up to 30% can be seen in settings that were previously CPU limited

Nice for those with CrossFire. Looks like I'll be installing these later today.

The time they have included Cysis in every update jnow our ATI cards should have 2X the performance they had with early drivers.

Hopefully these will add more performance even though I haven't been having any issues.
