    Exclamation New GPU help

    Hello all,

    So I upgraded from my Radeon 6870 to a R9 290 OC Gigabyte, and the day before I had downloaded the latest beta driver from AMD catalyst, but my question is should I install the driver that came with the GPU DVD? or should I re-download the latest beta driver?

    Thank you!
    Case: Thermaltake A60
    MB: ASRock Z68 Ext3 Gen3
    CPU: i5 2500k, Windows 8.1 64 Bit
    GPU: HIS 6870 1gb
    PSU: Corsair GS 600
    SSD: Crucial M4 128g

    you should always download the newest one, for me personally its not really the beta driver that does it but i go with the newest release version, always.

    Don't install the one in the DVD. Keep the beta you have unless you're having problems.

    Thank you! I just wasn't sure if the drivers would be different form my old 6870, even though it is the latest 14.6 beta drivers.

    I think that is for Nvidia cards. I have AMD

    It's for both Nvidia and AMD. I use it myself with AMD.
