Gigabyte HD 7950

So I got my newly built PC today; installed the Graphics Card, all going well. What's the latest driver for it from their website? Or shall I just install the drivers that are on the disk that come with it?

Don't use driver from the CD. Just go on AMD site and look under drivers, select from dropdown boxes your card model, Operating System etc and download the driver.

Cheers, I think I've got the right one?

Desktop graphics
HD Series
Radeon HD 7xxx Series PCIe
Windows 8 - 64 bit

Then downloaded the catalyst software suite and the 'latest beta driver'

Is that right? Cheers

All you download and install is "Catalyst Software Suite".

"Latest Beta Driver" is a beta driver is a beta driver of upcoming drivers that may or may not be stable.

Cheers for that. After I've installed it is that all I do? nothing else? like I don't need to go in to the program or anything do I? cheers.

I also normally download the latest AMD catalyst profiles and install those, I've read they make a performance difference even if not running cross-fire. You should be fine without that though.

You may want to go into the Catalyst Control Center (it'll be an icon in the taskbar) and click Gaming, 3D Application Settings then change "texture filtering quality" to "High Quality".
