The simple answer is - don't.

But if you do have an issue or need an improvement for a particular game that has been included in that release, then obviously update them.

I would have to agree 100%.
Trouble is, if it's new. i just gotta to have it.

AMD has released a new set of Catalyst graphics drivers, and there's a twist. The drivers shouldn't hit the AMD Game website until Monday, but AMD marketing chief Ian McNaughton has posted links to them on his blog.

OK it is the weekend and I can't help myself but to try this new download even though I know I will regret it later! I just can't help myself when the new stuff comes out to see what happens.

I'm running on them right now. No problems with installation or anything else so far. Upped my wei score by .2 points. It is the legit 9.8.

Re: Latest ATI Catalyst Video Drivers

Same drop down menu that is nice and everything looks the same as before with no problems so far. I am running crossfire with an Intel i7 920 and have not noticed anything special yet but everything appears to work fine. The fan control for the 3870 still does not work but I guess they gave up on fixing that a while ago!

Re: Latest ATI Catalyst Video Drivers

Exactly what is a super MOD? I just have to ask! No disrespect intended as I was a MOD at a site years back. Does the title come with some sort of cape to wear?

Yeah, a cape and a mask. Supermod has more abilities than a regular mod. About all I can say.

Thanks for your info on the supermod. It sounds like a lot more work from what I recall! Any way, the new download worked fine with no problems, just be sure to un install your ATI program before installing this new one first so ther is no conflict. Reboot then install. It works just fine.
