PRESS RELEASE
Today, we are proud to announce that AMD has received Windows Hardware Certification (WHC) for an AMD CatalystTM graphics driver (with full support for the new WDDM 1.2 driver model) on Windows® 8. This landmark moment reflects both our commitment to AMD RadeonTM graphics customers, and our vision of providing quality hardware/software solutions for Microsoft® Windows® products.
Formerly known as the Windows Logo Program, WHC is a rigorous mark of compatibility and reliability for products intended for use with Microsoft Windows. It also allows AMD to serve as an official partner in the upcoming Windows 8 release, use the "Windows 8 Compatible" logo (seen here), and offer the drivers on Windows Update.
Our certified driver has been successfully tested against several families of AMD RadeonTM, AMD Accelerated Processing Units (APUs), and AMD FireProTM products. We'll be able to detail these products in the days ahead.
