    Thank for the response.

    Im on a budget

    Well my monitor is only 18.5 inch Wide LED and maybe for the future will use a 22 inch Wide LED.

    Anyways i have heard that ATI or Radeon driver cause more problematic?

    Before buying i need more info about the latest drivers on download site because im really confuse.

    Well the model is Sapphire HD 6850 1 Gig 256 bit GDDR5.

    Where will i download the latest driver? Windows 7 64 bit driver.

    Sapphire website?
    Sapphire Technology Web Site

    Or

    AMD Website?
    ATI Radeon


    And its the Catalyst Software Suite im downloading right?

    I haven't really used Cat drivers for a while now, so my personal experience is out of date. I'd have to let a current AMD user answer that.

    ATI Radeon
    From AMD - the card manufacturer drivers are always out of date.

    Correct. The suite contains both the Catalyst Control Centre (CCC) and the Catalyst Drivers.

    AMD drivers aren't so bad there just a little buggy once in a while

    I can tell you little performance change from driver to driver aside you can always rollback to previous drivers

    only negative thing i can say about the drivers is it caused my WEI to go down and im kinda disapointed there is no fix even though it runs fine/ even though WEI means nothing

    that is the only thing i can think of other then that most of the diamond radeon cards i have used run great i still have a 5770 and a 6870 planing to upgrade to a higher card in a few weeks
