iamajunky · Jul 19, 2008

I'm gonna be having a crossfire setup, just wondering what is the best catalyst drivers for the 3870 that I'll see the best performance out off them?

8.6 with hotfix.

The hot fix is for the 4800 cards AFAIK, so just the normal 8.6's would do.

i hate the 8.6 drivers.... it causes my phenom o/c to crash... i use the 8.5 and all is well again.. :toast:
