Driver Update: AMD Catalyst 15.11.1 Beta

AMD has released an update to the 15.11 beta Catalyst driver, which incorporates optimizations for four popular new games. Fallout 4, among other things, should run better after the update. The driver is suitable for Windows 7, 8.1 and 10, with a separate download for 32bit and 64bit environments. Windows 8.0 is no longer supported since version 14.6 and AMD therefore recommends installing the free update to Windows 8.1 or 10.
