Got a Gigabyte 990XA-UD3 board

Installed drivers from disk

Installed newer ones from Gigabyte website

Installed even newer graphics drivers from AMD website, but as the GPU driver package looks like it also installs chipset stuff too - USB 3, AHCI etc etc

So my question is does the AMD graphics catalyst package include the chipset drivers ?

No AMD's GPU drivers do not include their chipset drivers. There has been one case where the AHCI driver was accidentally included but AMD fixed that a few days later. The installer they use for their chipset driver is the same as the one they use for GPU drivers though. If you want their latest chipset drivers you need to head to their drivers and download center select Integrated Motherboard Graphics, AMD 9-Series Chipsets, All 9-Series Chipsets, then select your OS. (Never understood the Integrated Motherboard Graphics part but ok... I have an ASUS M5A99X motherboard with the 990X chipset no IGP).

Thanks. When I installed the graphics drivers, I selected the custom install and I could swear it listed all the component drivers. Maybe it was a list of what was already on the system - but why would it do that ? I should have done a screenshot.
I don't understand why they call it integrated either, it's a bit misleading, - but thanks now I know which one to go for.
