AMD chipset drivers & driver update software
Hello Everyone,
I have Gigabyte motherboard GA-790FXTA-UD5. The chipset as you can see is AMD 7 series - namely 790FX. Now my question is:
Can anyone tell me where I can download the drivers for the said chipset apart from Gigabyte website as I believe the ones on their website are not up to date (audio and LAN on their website are definitely not up to date)? I did try AMD website but the layout is so misleading and confusing, that after downloading something which I think is chipset driver, I decided that in the future I don't want to have anything to do with AMD and their chipsets..
The reason I'm looking for updated drivers is that I tried one of those glorious driver update softwares and it turned out that my drivers (the ones from gigabyte)were not up to date.
I did install the drivers from AMD website and now all driver update software checks confirm that my chipset drivers are up to date (although looking at the extracted folders these drivers seem to be AMD South Bridge 8xx - whereas mine is SB750). What's more, I did contact AMD for information in regard to my problem and they pointed me towards Gigabyte website and the drivers from their website (the "not up to date" ones). Well, isn't that confusing??
I would like to also get to know your opinion on the driver update software. Is it reliable and worth using? If so, which one would you recommend. I personally have purchased Driver Genius Professional and it seems it serves its purpose very well.
Cheers lads,
Luc.
