Just installed a 6870 - did it auto update my drivers?

Hello everyone,

I just installed a new graphics card.
I put the CD in that came with the card and it loaded the hardware drivers, but does this do CCC and all the other stuff?

I've gone into CCC and this is what it tells me everything is set at currently:


Driver Packaging Version 8.782-100930m-106215E
Catalyst™ Version 10.10
Provider ATI Technologies Inc.
2D Driver Version 6.14.10.7131
2D Driver File Path System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Video/{D46D2035-4DD8-4AD4-B2F6-647C1358A016}/0000
Direct3D Version 6.14.10.0784
OpenGL Version 6.14.10.10243
Catalyst™ Control Center Version 2009.0113.2222.40119
AV Stream (T200) Driver Version 6.14.10.1078

Anything more I need to do?

Thanks.
 
There are several hotfix versions of the 10.10 drivers available but my suggestion is that unless you are having problems leave it well alone.

There are 10.11 drivers out but they don't appear to support the 6800 series cards so for now I would stick with the drivers you were supplied with.
 
Ok thanks.
As long as it is near enough up to date that's fine.
I got a bit confused when I saw a load of drivers saying 6.14.10.xxx.
I take it I dont need to worry about this stuff?

If you have problems with the drivers you are using that's the time to worry - if it's all working fine then absolutely not! :)
