For updating drivers, go to ati website and after selecting your card download the drivers.Or you can get the same file from CD's or DVD's that come with magazine's like digit.

Updating from AMD's website will ensure you have the most recent and stable driver - so get that only and if you like to play with new drivers consider getting beta drivers though they may contain bugs/glitches.

Uh, I don't know my current drivers. I need to compare and see right?

BTW Topgear, using Sapphire Trixx Utilities, if I increase my fan speed to 100%, will it have any anomalies in the future?

Okay. So today, I updated the drivers.
Performance before updating:
Fifa 12:
Lag for 5 seconds, play for 10 seconds and on and on.
Performance after updating:
Lag for 20 seconds, play for 10 seconds and on and on.
What do I do now? :\
This is precisely where I download the drivers from:
All 4 files.

TriXX lets you set different fan speed for different temps - let's say you set up Trixx to run at 100% fan speed @ 75c and 80% @ 70c and so on .. running the fan at 100% won't create any issue but just set it up in a more decent way

you don't need all of the 4 driver packages - the latest one is version 12.10 and file size is 134 MB.

I downloaded all 4 and resulted in that.

What do I do now?
