Graphics Card Question
Installed driver for ASUS EAH3650 Silent Magic
graphics card. When check for driver updates via ATI Catalyst Control Center, shows update to a ATI Raedon 3600 driver. Unsure if should stick with the latest ASUS driver or install the RAEDON one. Any info would be much appreciated.

Meant to say RADEON instead of Raedon

Graphics Card Question
In general the rule is, "If it ain't broke don't fix it" but graphic cards
are often an exception to this rule. Updated drivers often offer improved graphics performance, better game performance, or other benefits. In the end only you can decide if the upgrade is worth doing or not. "pufnstuff" wrote in message ... Installed driver for ASUS EAH3650 Silent Magic graphics card.

Graphics Card Question
With any OEM graphics card the manufacturer could have included features or
utility software that are only available when their own drivers are installed. If a new driver release doesn't fix an issue that is relevant to you, it probably isn't worth bothering to install. MS video driver updates in particular are liable to remove features that Asus or ATI drivers provided so beware of letting those install if you want more than basic functionality.

Graphics Card Question
Always use the latest from Radeon. In case trouble arises, you can always
use system restore to revert. "pufnstuff" wrote in message ... Installed driver for ASUS EAH3650 Silent Magic graphics card.

Graphics Card Question
Tx to all for the feedback.
As of now, using latest ASUS Driver & related software and all ok. Will consider changing to Radeon driver as per last post and have downloaded the one for Vista 32-Bit..
