Boot Camp Update 6.0 for iMac 5K

Apple Software Update has just popped up for me it contains the Boot Camp Update 6.0

Provides 5K support when running Windows via Boot Camp on iMac with Retina 5K display. Fixes an issue that may cause certain Macs to become unresponsive after restarting. Addresses an issue that may prevent certain Macs from waking after sleep.

5K resolution???????? FINALLY?? Yeah!!!

Confirmed, 5K Resolution, Text is now super crispy, well it only took a year to make it happen. Good Job AMD/Apple.

During the installation, the text is extremely TINY, so be ready to use the magnifying glass so you can change the scaling in Windows, but I can make out the text (yes the screen is that awesome). I installed the update in Windows 10 with the November update.

I hope I can still play "games", the drivers are provided by AMD and dated October 5th 2015.

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), null

There is a screen shot by user nicolasiensen in that thread. Does it help convince you that the 'mythical' 5K on Windows does exist? 😉

So...What does this mean? The 6.0 came with El Capitan few months ago. I installed Windows but the AMD driver problem is still there. Could you be more specific?

Problem not solved at all. I've just installed Windows 8.1 and that anoyng AMD popup is still there, saying that the driver is not installed, though I'd updated the Boot Camp drive (and yes, it lies by saying that is for 5K retina display!!). No games, no screensavers. Just a crap.

13.251.9001.1001...How can I download the version 15.201.2001.0???

Nov 21, 2015 4:10 AM in response to Loner T

As a matter of fact the correct version is
15.200.1060.0...Can you tell me where can I download 15.201.2001.0??

Nov 21, 2015 8:00 AM in response to Loner T

Like I said 15.200.1060.0.. And that's why I told you it is just a crap. I've already searched for 15.201.2001.0 drive and there is nothing about it on Google. Strange that Memiehic has mentioned something we can't find...

Nov 21, 2015 8:20 AM in response to Loner T

"No products saved" is what your link says...Can you provide us the link to the 15.201.2001.0 famous AMD drive???...

My last experience: Installed Windows 10, installed Boot Camp update on Windows and...nothing, but nothing different happened. Everything is absolutely the same as before. I made a simple test with 3PlaneSoft screensavers and they run like an old and slow locomotive climbing some hill!! Terrible. That annoying warning from AMD Catalyst is still there as usual. I feel cheated by Apple with this useless update...

And that's something I cannot understand nor accept you know. Apple assembles this Mac, and the makes us a proposal: You can run Windows on it!!! That's just a lie because it is not running properly.

That's what YOU think, but not what I THINK! I bought a very expensive machine which Apple announced could run Windows 10, but say nothing about incompatibility with 5K Retina display! So give me a break, I really do not care if you think wether there is "overstating" on this issue or not. The problem is, I have a problem that, ACCORDINGLY TO APPLE ADS, I should not have. Best regards.

What are you? Do you work for Apple? Did I ask you for help? Give me break! AND SINCE APPLE SAYS I CAN RUN WINDOWS ON MY IMAC 5K EVERYONE CAN IMAGINE THAT IT OUGHT TO RUN ON 5K. And please, no need to answer. Go take care of your own business.
