Drivers...name brand or generic?

[Disco_Stu_04]

The last time I built a rig it was during the era where you needed powerstrip to get your money's worth. But now I can see that's changed some.

The question though--I have an XFX HD 6870, should I use XFX's driver or should I just use the generic Radeon installer?

Definitely AMD. It is the most up-to-date one.

I'm pretty sure they're the same thing.

The only time I can think of that it would matter is if you're using a utility from the manufacturer that requires their driver.

They are the same, usually the ones on the makers site are older versions.
