Upgrading VideoCard Drivers

[Frank]

I've just bought myself a Radeon9800 PRO but then I started thinking...
Maybe I should upgrade it with some new drivers - yes! But will someone please show me which ones?

Just get the Catalyst 4.6 I think it is. Play with those for awhile, then think about switching

 

[Frank]

Will there be any change in the games? I mean can I feel any difference?

 

[Shuzer]

What version are you running?
One of the recent Catalyst driver revisions had a pretty good performance boost

 

[Frank]

I just installed the one that came with the card, it says:
Catalyst ver. 03.8
I suppose that 3.8, right?

 

[Shuzer]

Yep. I'd suggest going with 4.6 like Disturbed suggested. You should see a nice performance increase.. past that, nothing should be different

Follow this link and do the instructions. Get the Catalyst 4.6 and you will see a big difference in games, ecspecially from 3.8. 3.8 is very outdated.

Jumping from the 4.4 which came on my cd to the 4.5's then to the 4.6's, I definantly notice a difference in performance!

They will always have the latest one on ATI.com.
However, it's generally unecessary unless you have the following problems addressed in their latest change-log, usually errors in games and new technologies.
