I realise there is a an extensive review of all Cat drivers but Its a bit TOO extecive.

was wondering...
1. if anyone could tell me which driver would be the best for a 9700Pro on my AMD64 Graphics Office machine. Will NOT be playing any games. running at high resolutions.

2. if anyone could tell me which driver would be the best for my machine...specs listed below. I do play games every now and then and aslo do graphics, at 1024x768.

Both machines are dual monitor machines. if that makes a differance.

Any suggestions?

Go read the Catalyst review, it's there to help people, and to avoid post's like this from constantly popping up.

Well i did look threw it and it appeares that the 3.9's are the best, on average...and/or the 3.7s. would i be correct in saying so? or no? I know that that is what it is there for. and i love that it is. Thank you TheGreat.

But there is nothing said about stability for one, and i thought that since both my systems are quite differant that that might make a differance too.

What do you use and why?

so basicly your saying don't bother downloading any thing new...since there is no realy improvement... stick with the one supplied with the card.

The supplied one is most likly the most stable?

i'm using 4.3 Catalyst run great, I do have the 4.4's downloaded, but haven't bothered to install them. Things are pretty good with current ones.

I've had my best results with the 3.7's.
