You don't alway have to use the CAPs, just read what games they are for, and if they are not for a game you play, then don't update. |

Oo caps are the Application Profiles but is it good to use it on a old game with newer drivers

Usually new drivers have the (sort of) latest CAP implemented, so if you were to play Mafia 2 I guess the Application Profile is already in the driver.

i dont understand your assumption, why would anything be bad?
if they never changed the driver code or profile for the game, then it should run pretty much identical to what it always has been for years there's really no reason not to keep CAPs up to date unless a very specific game can be proven to have issues |

what about it... it tells you what it does, you save a new profile that overrides the one in the driver
so you could tell a game to disable CF even though amd has it enabled, or you could tell the driver to load a different CF profile for that game, etc (the same thing people have been doing with radeonpro or by renaming the exe) |
