Default Need some driver help please. HD 5770
I just bought a Sapphire HD 5770 card and want to install it in a new system. I'm not sure if I should install the disc that came with the card, install the 10.1 catalyst from the Sapphire site or install the 10.1 drivers from the ATI site. I would like a custom install so I can pick what I want instead of a full install of all the crap that might be there. Is there a preferred driver for this card for Win 7 64 pro?
Thanks for the help.
Jim

I just go for whatever the manufacturer provides for download on their site.

I Just installed the 5750s. Ran the software on the disc, then ran the Catalyst Control Centre, which takes you to the AMD website to download updates. Just about to install the updates, now.

Edit: Almost forgot to come back and give an update. Install went fine...probably could have just installed the drivers from the ATI website and been good to go.

You'd think they would.
Actually, the manufacturers package the GPUs with outdated drivers. I think the 57xx cards use the Beta drivers which are now outdated.

For sure, I've been downloading drivers off the mfr websites since the nV detonator days back for TNT/TNT2 and beyond. Never bother with the disc for drivers themselves.

I downloaded the 10.1 suite from the AMD site and things looked good except for the sudden crash and the screen goes bright white! I'm not a pro at this but in all the years I've messed with computers ATI drivers have been a problem. Looks like things haven't changed! Does anybody have a driver version they like for this card (Sapphire HD 5770) The one that came with the card was 9.11. Also is it better to remove the driver completely (if it can be done without corrupting my OS).
Thanks
Jim

Similar thing (though opposite -- black, not white) happened with one of the driver packages during my install. I just gave it a couple of minutes to make sure it was done fooling around, then reset the system and ran it again. The second time around it blacked out for just a few seconds, then refreshed and everything was good.

If this is related to the "GSOD" (though I thought they were only in 58xx cards) they recently released a hotfix driver to correct the issue.

I've looked on the AMD site but couldn't find anything. The 58XX driver is different.
