What can I do with this PC? - Page 3

OK, this driver stuff is confusing.

System Information says that the "Driver Version" for the HD 7700 is 9.2.0.0. But the AMD Catalyst Control Center says that the "Catalyst Version" is 12.10 whereas the "Driver Packaging Version" is 9.002[etcetera].

How to sort this out? Both the README and Brain's "cheat sheet" say that the "Catalyst driver" should be at least 11.4, but I don't see a listing with that exact label, only other listings each with a different piece of Brain's label ("Driver Version" and "Catalyst Version").

how my GPU-Z looks on this computer.

Oh, and also, 9.2.0.0 is fine, that number is the actual 3D driver number, 12.10 is the "package" version number.

Here's how that shows up on my computer. Looks like the driver version is lower, but the BIOS version is higher.

Yeah, driver version is lower because you have the "stable" 12.10, I have the beta 12.11.

Comparing BIOS version numbers from different computers are as different as comparing two PC's and.... *scratch head* "What the hell? these two are both PC's, why does this one have a different cpu?"

Unless you have the same MB, same brand/model as you...

EDIT: Meh. I just realized it was GPU bios, not system bios. Still, it will be different I believe.

So, to recap -- when the mfakto README (and Brain's "cheat sheet") talks about the "Catalyst driver" that needs to be at least 11.4, that's where I'm at 12.10 and you're at 12.11, right?

Yep, it should be fine.
