AMD Releases Catalyst 11.6a Hotfix Update, Adds A-Series APU Support

[btarunr]

AMD released a new Catalyst hotfix driver update, 11.6a. This release comes 15 days after the month's main version, 11.6 WHQL, was released. The updated driver otherwise has the same exact feature-set as 11.6 WHQL, but adds support for graphics processors embedded into AMD's new Vision A-Series accelerated processing units, namely Radeon HD 6550D inside A8-3800 series, and Radeon HD 6530D inside A6-3600 series. Available for Windows XP, and Windows 7/Vista in both x86 and x86-64 forms, the Catalyst 11.6a Hotfix update can be downloaded from the link below.

I guess I'll be skipping this one. I don't currently own an APU.

Lets see who installs it on their X800 then complains it breaks something.

These drivers don't seem to be detecting my 3D Rage Pro. Any ideas?

Support for the 6550D so does that mean support for the 6550M

Typo ?

Which one is it, 11.6b or 11.6a ?

The last time I tried to install the most up to date drivers for my X700 a couple of years ago, the installer wouldn't let me. I had to do some research and find out what the most recent driver that would support it was. It's in a computer that doesn't do gaming

Just use the 11.7 beta drivers, they are better.
