AMD Graphics Driver Update question

I'm a bit confused on what drivers to download. I have a lenovo y700 with an fx-8800p cpu and r9 m385x gpu. When I went to the AMD website and searched for a driver update for my video card, I found the Radeon 16.6.1 version. But there was this note that said 'if you have an fx8800p apu, please use version 15.12" or something like that. So what version should I download?


If I posted on the wrong category, my apologies. I'm new to the forums.

Cheers!
 
just follow the instruction, it will avoid the problems

Crimson 16.6.1 is discrete GPU hotfix driver, it may incompatible with APU
 
Well anyways, I finally updated my drivers to Crimson 15.12, and my games started to have some kind of stuttering that I didnt have when I stilll had the catalyst drivers. Any reason why?
