Why get graphics drivers from OEM when ATI offers them?
My HP desktop came with an ATI HD5770, using driver version 8.740.0.0, dated Aug 2010.
Windows update offered an updated driver a couple of months ago, which failed to load.
People here have recommended getting updates from the OEM (HP, in this case) instead of from Windows Update. But HP doesn't offer anything newer than that Aug 2010 version. Sux.
So I went to ATI and they have the newer driver, version 8.902.0.0
It works.
Is this the preferred method?
