Do 18.8.1 drivers support APU processors?

Release notes don't seem to say that drivers support APU graphics, but it still offers those drivers to APU users? Is this Error in notes or driver distribution?

You have to be more clear > INFORMATION REQUIRED WHEN POSTING A QUESTION

Did you manually search for your driver?

Have no idea if you are talking about a desktop or a laptop..and that is a big difference, but not all APU's use the same driver version as a discrete card ...but the 'Supported products'' list the APU's. Again, it is not the same for laptops.

I did search manually drivers for desktop ryzen 2400g and it seems to suggest to download 18.8.1 version, even thought 'supported products'-tab says latest APU supporting driver is 18.5.1 . I ask again: is there some kind error in release notes or download section?

That info helps alot.

Where are you reading 'APU not supported"? The 18.8.1 drivers do not support Ryzen 2400g.

But isn't that page refering to older drivers? And like I said, drivers supported products tab don't say about 18.8.1 drivers APU support.

They are not older drivers. They are the latest drivers for a Ryzen 5 2400g with Vega graphics. You are looking/reading the Vega graphics...which are available as stand alone discrete graphics and either Win7 or Win10.

I seriously have to ask if you did even check what was behind link you did post. If you press to find 2400G compatible drivers, it gives exactly same view of drivers what I found on manual search. It still suggest to download 18.8.1

i don't know how i can be more clear. Your APU determines the graphics driver and the latest one is the 18.5.1. Forget about RX Vega,

Just look at this..again. Very simple...one driver to install. You can look at the other APU's and see that they are using different/various drivers.

There is a discrepancy between the 'supported products'  and the 'read me' files on the drivers selected with the manual download. The driver version is 18.8.1 but the 'read me' and the 'supported products' refer to the 18.5.1. My usual download source for APU's is Desktop APU / Processor with Graphics Drivers and all familiar APU's have the latest updates shown...as well as the 18.5.1 driver for yours. I will ask for clarification on this.

I have asked for clarification...will respond back when I hear.

I have seen this previously, where the top 'Supported......Release.......' refers to older driver, where as the 'Release notes' link between the two drivers is the current driver(but no APU listing this time).

I checked several desk/lap/apu card versions and the template is the same(no APU products list). Someone from amd must have been in a hurry to go fishing.

It would be confusing.

We have been through that. On the 18.8.1 drivers...read the 'supported products' and the 'read me file'...they refer to the 18.5.1. Now look at the drivers shown here > Desktop APU / Processor with Graphics Drivers

We are not talking about APU's in general. Many APU's use the 18.8.1...many don't. Do you have the Ryzen 5 2400g ?
