AMD will release two different driver versions. On the one would be the Catalyst hotfix 11.1a and the other of Catalyst 11.1 with the WHQL certificate. Upon request, AMD told us that are closer together until the Calalyst 11.2 the feature list of both driver versions. But what are the differences between the Catalyst and the Catalyst hotfix 11.1a 11.1 with WHQL certification? When Catalyst 11.1 with WHQL certification is a simple development of the previously known Catalyst 11er generation. Only the Catalyst 11.1a hotfix will include the tessellation switch and also some changes to the AF filter, which we now want to go again.
