Benefits and improvements. This utility installs the originally shipped version of the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 / 5470 video driver.

Reply by William Sommerwerck on January 31, 2015 Why do you think that if something doesn't work, YOU made a mistake? There's plenty of botched software out there that works on some machines, and fails on others. Catalyst never worked properly on my HP notebook, which had both Intel integrated graphics, and ATI discrete graphics. When I tried to force Catalyst to always use discrete graphics when the computer was line-powered, it 'blew up', and took the HP Connection Manager with it. (Yes, really. I got it working again by installing the current version.) I'd like to install the current Catalyst utility, but I have no idea what it might do to the computer. (Note the detailed information ATI supplies.).

ATI Technologies Inc. (commonly called ATI ) was a semiconductor technology corporation based in Markham, Ontario, Canada, that specialized in the development of graphics processing units and chipsets. Founded in 1985 as Array Technology Inc., the company listed publicly in 1993. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) acquired ATI in 2006. As a major fabrication-less or fabless semiconductor company, ATI conducted research and development in-house and outsourced the manufacturing and assembly of its products.

With the decline and eventual bankruptcy of 3dfx in 2000, ATI and its chief rival Nvidia emerged as the two dominant players in the graphics processors industry, eventually forcing other manufacturers into niche roles. The acquisition of ATI in 2006, was important to AMD's strategic development of its Fusion generation of computer processors, which integrated general processing abilities with graphics processing functions within a single chip. Since 2010, AMD's graphics processor products have ceased using the ATI brand name.
