Odd......

I just installed this on my ASRock system (In Specs <<<<<) and checked version number after and it said 10.12. So I did an uninstall....... after rebooting I was expecting a mess because I run in eyefinity all the time but Win7 booted into a perfect setup spanning three monitors. (I didn't know default drivers could do that ??? )

Anyways, I ran setup again and installed 11.1, rebooted and I'm running 10.12

"No upgrade for you!"

I think they just forgot to change the version number. The "driver packaging version" is correct - 8.812 (10.12 is 8.801).

Cool, was just wondering. Probably not much change for basic usage anyways, so it's not really a big deal.

Still freaks me out that Win7 default drivers can do eyefinity...... That's what was so odd.
