Not mentioned in the new features section, but no doubt still important, is the fact that the new Catalyst 9.11 drivers now offer support for the HD 5700 series which was something that wasn't included in the 9.10s. In saying that, there was a 5700 series beta of the 9.10s which did offer support, for which reason we've used that driver for the HD 5770 which is now included.

While we don't doubt that some people are going to have issues with the fact that the HD 4000 series cards are no longer included and that Vista is gone, I learnt a long time ago that you can't please everyone. We're sure that ATI will now shift their focus to supporting the new HD 5000 series models and for that reason it's what we want to concentrate on.

What do you mean with:

If you go to AMD's site and select 4800 series for any OS it will take you to the 9.11 Catalyst!

what tweaktown meant was that they're not going to test 4800 series anymore in their driver benchings

Oh yes I see. Got scared there for a moment!

He was talking about the inclusion of the 5770s in the driver and he jumped to the not inclusion of the 4000 series (in their test-which they didn't specify) and I got confused! No biggy!

Thanks!

I don't think they will cut driver updates for HD4xxx series anytime soon since both HD5xxx series is fundamentally no different from its predecessor.
