Mostly just the interface with which you change options that have always been there in the recent catalysts. <a href='http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NjU4' target='_blank'>[H]ardOCP</a> has screenshots. There's an auto-update feature that we obviously can't test yet because there's nothing needing an update. So far the most functional new feature is the ability to see what the AA, AF, texture settings, and SmartShader effect you chose will look like in-game, without having to actually open up a game -- see screenshot below. Makes it much quicker to see all of the SmartShader effects and pick one you like (I can imagine blur, one of the new ones, would look amazing for any racing game).

[edit]One other new feature is a tab called "Theatre mode," which seems specifically geared towards multimonitor movie watching.
