R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC - Driver Question

Just got this card and it's my first non-reference card.

I pulled drivers from here:

http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R6950-Twin-Frozr-III-Power-Edition-OC.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win7 32

The card seems to be working fine. But the driver is dated 2011-01-04.

Do I not have the 11.8 catalyst drivers or equivalent? Is there anything I need to do to update?

 

You can still use 'reference' driver for that a.k.a. just update it with Catalyst drivers downloaded from AMD.
You can't 'lose' the factory OC because of using official AMD drivers; those clocks are basically hard-coded to the card's BIOS.

So, no, you don't need to do anything aside from download the newest available driver and then test it out.

 

u have the AMD 6950 GPU which is made by AMD so u must use the driver made by AMD for optimal performance AND MSI is third part vendor not the actual manufacturer of gpu chip.
