Default Radeon 4850 Drivers

Hey I still have the original drivers that came with my Radeon 4850. What drivers would you recommend upgrading to for the largest performance increase?

Nothing wrong with the latest drivers are there?

Don't forget to uninstall and clean properly.

See I just didn't want to go straight to 9.5 because I heard some cards have issues with it.

9.4's are pretty good. Haven't tried 9.5. I probably will though once my second 4850 comes in and I reinstall driver for CrossFire.

There's nothing wrong with 9.5, I formatted my Windows 7 Beta OS, installed the RC and then downloaded 9.5. Everything works fine and it even allows me to Fold on both cards with or without crossfire enabled.

The best one I've seen so far are the 9.4's but the 9.5's are fine, very small decrease in performance.
