This version of the Catalyst Driver Suite does not support the recently released 6870/6850. This is only an update for the 5800 series, and owners of the 6800 series should continue using 10.10.

Bug Fixes - Various bug fixed for Win7 and Win Vista installations.
Our final video from the AMD Tech Day 2010 is second video of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. This video was shot on the show floor, and is of live gameplay footage (not a demo real or movie). It shows proof of a properly centered HUD and menus, and what appears to be Hor+ support.
