Default [expreview] Catalyst 8.6 hotfix VS Catalyst 8.7

Quote:
On HD 4870, Cat 8.7 did not bring any performance improvement over Cat 8.6. However, the release note mentioned that lots of fix have been done on Crossfire and single card setup issues, so if you don’t encounter any graphic corruption or blank, stick to Cat 8.6 hotfix is OK.
i hope the 8.8 give a little better performance

I don't upgrade drivers for extra performance nearly as much as I do for bug fixes compatibility issues.
