AMD posted up some new Catalyst 11.11c drivers for everyone rocking one of their Radeon cards, that would be us. Oddly it’s still listing fixes for RAGE, a game that came out Oct 4th 2011. We bought RAGE on release day and still have yet to review it because we wanted a working game. We could have jumped through hoops with editing ini files but if I’m going to review a game I’m not going to go above and beyond what should be acceptable, updating all drives and to get the latest day one patch is all that should be required to enjoy a game on release day. But enough RAGE bitchfest, onto the update!
