When/why do I need a second graphic driver (Intel + AMD-ATI)?
I bought a new Samsung notebook with a core i7 CPU and an (additional)
AMD Radeon HD8870M graphic chip.
I guess the AMD Radeon chip is only for those users who are not satisfied with the (speed) of the Intel-built-in graphic chip.
What else are the advantages of using the AMD Radeon display chips over the Intel built-in graphic? Do I eventually miss some power options?
From my point of view I am ok with the Intel-graphic GPU.
Do I really have to install the additional AMD (Catalyst) drivers to let the notebook work properly?
Currently I installed only the Intel graphic drivers and the system seem to work fine.
As far as I can see the AMD graphic driver package installs many, many stuff (Control Center, Profile handler, utility, help for various languages,....). I hate these frills. Is there a way to only install the AMD drivers only - without the Catalyst stuff around?
