    Is there an update for this driver?

    I see AMD does have an update for ATI Radeon, but that's slightly different than the mobility version.

    I'll be the first to say it. Need more information. What driver are you currently running? I'm running 11.2's right now. That's the latest mobility version that I'm aware of.

    Drivers are released 1 or 2 times a year.
    for the first 2 to 3 years.

    Then it drops off...

    If you're running 11.2, then you're current. Seems like the mobility drivers trail the desktop by a month or two. I would expect we'll see 11.3 between now and mid-April.
