AMD has scored a nice victory and it looks like they will get their drivers for HD 4890 and HD 4770 cards on the Windows 7 installation disk.

We are not sure if these drives will be the best one at the time of Windows 7 release but at least they will work out of the box and we are sure that Nvidia will try to strike such a deal for its top models.

We are not sure what happens with the previous models but since ATI has Catalyst there is a chance that much more ATI cards will be natively supported by Windows 7. The question if the 3D acceleration will also get supported out of the box remains unanswered but we can recommend that once you get Windows 7 final and if you have the latest Radeon card, simply go and get the latest drivers to ensure that your games run fast.

Windows 7 is we still hope scheduled for release in 2009 but we don’t know any fixed date except it should happen in the second half of 2009.
