Hi everyone....
I've always had good luck getting help here on the forums so I'm back once again
I got a MSI HD7870 from a friend of mine but it came with no disc
I went to.... http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
and used their "auto detect" and downloaded the latest driver for the card.
My question is what else would have been on the original driver disc that I might need besides the driver?
I see here.... http://us.msi.com/product/vga/R78702GD5TOC.html#hero-overview
that it looks like the disc might have came with afterburner and live update 5 (live update 6 is now out, would I want that instead of 5? do I even need it)?
how important is it to update my bios? (that makes me nervous just thinking about it) I have a... MSI 760GMA-P34 (FX) motherboard.....live update 5 (or 6) would do that for me? (do I need to update bios)?
back to my original question....besides AFTERBURNER what else do I really need to download for this card?
This is my card.... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127722
and I also found this, also linked above.... http://us.msi.com/product/vga/R78702GD5TOC.html#hero-overview
Thanks a million for any help / input I can get on what else I really need to download for this card (as in software that might have came on the original disc).
I'm running windows 8.1 and do nothing but play some games and surf the web on this computer...
