Any reason to upgrade it? Or should I do "if it's not broken don't fix"?

Should I upgrade to the latest Catalyst Control Center 13.1 or keep 12.10?

How often do you update the drivers for your 670 again? Quit it with the red vs green team bullcrap.
You know in the question lies the answer
Yeah, it's a smart ass comment that wasn't necessary. :shadedshu
Back to being on topic...
Performance and stability. There isn't any reason why you shouldn't upgrade.
Well, what do you know. Immediately upon upgrading CCC, I get a blue screen. Figures. That's why I didn't want to upgrade.
Ok, well fortunately after uninstalling CCC and a clean install of CCC, it did not blue screen on me this time.
Fuck. now it only shows one of the graphics cards.

Don't double post. You should know this rule.
Also don't go talking about this in multiple threads. Pick one and stick with it.
Actually, we could lock up this thread and continue here:

Or lock up that thread and continue here as this topic applies to what's being discussed.
