Finally, AMD released the Catalyst Driver Suite WHQL 10:11

Finally, after we wait, AMD also released the newest drivers, Catalyst 10.11. Perhaps many of you still remember, that some time ago, AMD released a hotfix for Catalyst lot 10:10, up to 5 hotfixes within 2 to 3 weeks. And recently AMD teased us with 10:11 Catalyst drivers that can only be downloaded via Windows Update, but it seems that the update only gave an update on the Display Driver only. But now AMD is ready to release a complete feature Catalyst 10:11. And this driver supports the Radeon HD series 2000 to date.But, unfortunately, not as Catalyst 10.10e, this driver is still not "Officially" supports MLAA the series apart from the HD Radeon 6000. Looks like will have to require a hotfix or modded drivers again to be able to run MLAA on Radeon HD 5000 series and down. But if Catalyst will be made hotfixnya 10:11? Let us wait on the game!
