Default Where are the 4850 drivers?

I don't see the drivers on ATi website.

I also heard about some hotfix. What are the best drivers out for the 4850?

Just choose the 3870 in the list when you go to ATI's site. The drivers are a unified package anyway. The reason that list is there is because some of the older cards can't use the newer drivers, but all the newer cards can use the latest drivers.

Like Penicilyn said, you want the 8.6 drivers and the hotfix.

OverDrive is part of CCC... Yes it will allow you to OC your Core and Memory clocks. It does limit how far you can go...

The memory will run out of head room before the CCC limit but the core clock will not... For example I am pushing 700 on my 4850 core which is max CCC Overdrive will OC to but I believe I that the core should be able to push 725 and still be stable...
