ATI Catalyst(TM) Drivers Named Most Stable by Independent Test
Organization AppLabs
- Report shows that ATI Catalyst(TM) Software Suite exceeds NVIDIA in
head-to-head stability testing
LINDON, Utah, June 9 /PRNewswire/ -- In an independent quality and stability
test by AppLabs (formerly KeyLabs(TM)), ATI's recently released Catalyst(TM)
5.6 Software Suite proved to be more stable than the equivalent publicly
available NVIDIA offering. An executive summary of this test is now available
and the full Display Adapter Stability Test Report issued by AppLabs and ATI
Technologies Inc. will be available June 24, 2005.
In June 2005, ATI commissioned AppLabs, a leading provider of quality assurance
and testing, to conduct the test, pitting ATI's Radeon(R) display adaptors
against comparable NVIDIA GeForce products. The objective of the test was to
perform advanced software stress testing of the Radeon product line against the
GeForce product line. AppLabs used publicly available test applications
extracted from Microsoft's latest Windows Hardware Quality Lab test suite 5.3
to conduct the study in its Lindon, Utah facility. Testing was conducted on a
variety of graphics adaptors from each of the two manufacturers, and included
the repeated execution of a multitude of test cases (for more than 500 times on
each card) to mimic a typical, long term, real-world PC usability scenario.
In this series of independent trials, ATI consistently earned higher stability
rankings, scoring as high as 8.6 percent above NVIDIA. The AppLabs report
concluded: "Based on the results of these software stress tests, the stability
of the ATI Catalyst software exceeded that of their NVIDIA counterpart."
"In a world that is increasingly dependent on visual technology, software
stability is critical to ensure the best possible user experience," said Ben
Bar-Haim, Vice President, Software, ATI Technologies. "We built the Catalyst
software suite with the intent to deliver the most stable graphics software in
the industry today, and these tests provide further validation to that
commitment."
"AppLabs offers the industry's most trusted and comprehensive set of testing
resources," said Mike Fahnert, AppLabs executive vice president of client
services. "The results of this test are clear: ATI's Catalyst Software Suite
offers users of visually intensive applications the most stable 3D graphics
driver available."
