AMD Catalyst Beta Drops Win 8.0 Support

AMD Support Now Offers a New AMD Catalyst v14.7 Beta Driver for AMD / ATI Graphics Cards Running under Windows. Here's the Word on What this does, which Includes Dropping Support for Windows 8.0:


"- Starting with AMD Catalyst™ 14.6 Beta, AMD will no longer support Windows 8.0 (and the WDDM 1.2 driver).

- Windows 8.0 users should upgrade (for free) to Windows 8.1 to take advantage of the new features found in the AMD Catalyst 14.7 RC3 driver.

- AMD Catalyst 14.4 will remain available for users who wish to remain on Windows 8.

--------- A future AMD Catalyst release will allow for the WDDM 1.1 (Windows 7 driver) to be installed under Windows 8.0 for those users unable to upgrade to Windows 8.1."
