Im Laufe der Nacht hat AMD den Catalyst 12.8 veröffentlicht. Der Treiber mit WHQL-Zertifikat unterstützt alle Karten der Radeon-HD-5000-, HD-6000- und HD-7000-Serie. Erstmals direkt mit im Paket ist auch der Support von Windows 8. Wer ein Modell der Radeon-HD-2000-, HD-3000- und HD-4000-Serie besitzt, muss erstens ohne den Support von Windows 8 auskommen und zweitens auf den Catalyst 12.6 zurückgreifen. AMD will mit dem Catalyst 12.8 einige Optimierungen in der Stabilität und Performance vorgenommen haben.
