genuine question about update philosophy lmao my PC is stable on an old studio branch... the new Catalyst Display Driver lists fixes that dont realy affect me.. xD do you update aynway for security and compatibility, or do u only update when a game or app needs it?? i mostly do competitive gaming... i am curious how other ppl handle this, especially anyone who depends on their PC for work and cannot afford a broken evening.
if it isn't broken, should i still update catalyst display driver??
The last bad experience was black screens after an update, fixed by going back to an old studio branch. sorry for the wall of text lol
my approach: make a restore point, download the previous driver package so its ready, then try the new one... if anything misbehaves, DDU and reinstall the old one, that makes updating a low-risk experiment.

hmmmm not sure about that respectfully disagree, i tried that and it made gpu worse
printer saw i was in a hurry and chose violence
ok so driver updates do sometimes include security fixes, sooo i wouldn't stay on a very old version forever. But waiting a week or two after release to see if a hotfix appears is perfectly reasonable. fingers crossed 🤞
Is The New TL-WN721NC Wireless N USB Adapter Driver Better For Latency, Or Just Newer??
