Latest AMD Catalyst Video Driver for Windows 7

[Tepid]

I agree. Do not let Windows Updates update drivers.
The only really safe ones are NIC drivers. But even then, I don't do it.

All drivers (ie: Audio and Video or others) should be got from the manufacturer and ignore/hide any in WU.

Always, Always, uninstall them from Add/Remove Programs (XP) or Programs and Features (7) and reboot before installing new drivers.

For those that don't want to wait for AMD to update the download page working (direct) links can be found here,

Release notes link not working at the moment.

And yes it looks like this is the same as the one through Windows Update last week.

Would it be prudent to install these and then do a custom install of the 10.10e hotfix over them so all drivers are the latest?

You may get them from XFX, but they are exactly the same as the one from AMD. At best XFX will mod the INF show that it shows their name alongside AMD's, either during the install or when you open CCC.

And yes the 10.11 released today is the same as the driver that showed up through Windows Update last week, so if you installed that one you don't need today's unless you want the updated CCC and HDMI Audio driver to go with it; as well as if you have an AMD based motherboard, updated (if you haven't before) AHCI/RAID/etc chipset drivers,

Just a question, do that AHCI drivers gave you any issues somehow earlier or in earlier versions? I had one from Acer site (Catalist suite that they use) and I had SEVERE issues with the OS (Windows 7 x64), I had to wipe my HDD and reinstall without that driver installed...

Another question could be if the generic AHCI driver that this catalyst suits have will work with my specific laptop model...

See ya!!!
