Windows Drivers vs ATI Catalyst Drivers
Open question, discussion, and somewhat of a problem.
I've recently been having various issues with my pc, among the things I tried to do was update my graphics card driver: found the newest driver crashed madly, and rolled back. It's brought to mind a simple question:
What benefits are there in going for the newer ATI Catalyst drivers compared to the one defaulted by windows but which hasn't updated in 3 years.
Generally what could have changed? Compatablity? If it works it works. Stablity? Performance? Heat management?
Since it takes me 2 hours to download a driver (slow connection) I'm sticking on my w7 default ones: I know they work. It does make me ask though if there is a benefit to upgading after i've got my PC stable again.
