Default Catalyst 9.6 installed, 4890..

Should I update to 9.10? been running 9.6 since i got my XFX 4890 at release. I dual boot XP / Win7.

Ive read around, but see mixed reviews about latest drives and I've been fine so far.

BTW, only doing the autoscan overclock. Nothing major 950core 975mem

TIA, Ski

I personally got an FPS increase from 9.6 to 9.7, as well as one from 9.7 to 9.8.

I even got a small boost from 9.9 to 9.10. So yeah, I would update if I was you. Make sure you remove the previous drivers and restart before installing the new ones.

Thanks for the reply. Appreciated.

Also updating a old P4 machine from a ancient AGP x800gt to a new AGP XFX HD4650.
Should be fun
