I just built my first system yesterday. All is good in the world. I have a 5850 GPU and I just noticed that I downloaded the vista drivers dated 4/29/2010 instead of the windows 7 drivers, opps.
Do I need to remove vista drivers, (if so, how?) or can I just install the win 7 drivers and be good?
Does anyone know if the 4/29/2010 driver package has everything I need?

Thanks again for all your assistance, you all have been awesome!

Go to your Control Panel, view Installed Programs, find ATI drivers and select remove.

You can also run Driver Sweeper to make sure all traces are removed.

I dumped wrong drivers and installed new. I attempted to run OCCT and it is telling me:
'Your DirectX 9 isn't up to date. OCCT GPU and Power Supply tests will be disabled' and then tells me:
'Your Graphic Card Doesn't suppor CUDA. You need Geforce 8 or higher. GPU memtest will be disabled'
??????????
I have a 5850 ATI card

Downloaded, still have same problem. I don't get it, this is a directX 11 card, why would I need directX 9 for OCCT to work??

How do I tell what version of DirectX is on system?
