Catalyst drivers?
Hi!
I've recently bought a Radeon 9600XT by Sapphire. I'm just wondering what driver version is supposed to be most stable at the moment? I'm aware of the fact that the latest drivers are not always the best, but since I'm new to ATI-based cards, I'm not familiar with all these Catalyst releases. Thanks in advance! MheAd\ |

As a general rule of thumb, for the majority of cases, the latest is going to be the best. In terms of performance, there is practically nothing to choose between all the Cats 3.5-3.9s Recommend you install the latest unless you are experiencing a particular problem that you know can be resolved with a prior version.

I'd say 3.7's seem to be generally regarded as the best/most stable
