AMD Catalyst 2011 Linux AMD Catalyst 2011 testing. Linux benchmarking/testing for a future article on Phoronix.com by Michael Larabel doing the annual year-in-review of the AMD Catalyst Linux driver stack with a Radeon HD 6950 Cayman graphics card. Only change each time was installing the monthly Catalyst Linux driver from Catalyst 10.12 through Catalyst 11.12
