If this has already been posted, I apologize... as it did not come up in a search.

It installed fine for me as an upgrade.
It plays fine on, what I play, COH and Warhammer. Saw no benefits in those little games.
Been lazy, lately, and have not re-installed any of my games on this system, yet.

All they ever do anymore with their drivers is add Crossfire profiles.

You don't have to upgrade with each driver release if you don't have any issues, drivers for the current series which have been around for quite some time now and as such are mature will only fix certain existing issues and of course crossfire profiles and the like.
