amd catalyst driver 11.xx+ 11.xx CAP VS. amd catayst 11.yy W/O CAPS?

[nix253]

ok the title must be seeming really confusing so i'll just put in detail what i wanna ask....

now that modern warfare 3, batman arkham city & assassin's creed revelations are available should i go for amd catayst driver 11.11+ 11.11 CAPS or catalyst 11.12 without any CAPS?

and is it like that you should always use CAPS with the particular driver whose version is pre-fixed with the title of the CAP or you can also use them with a driver that has been released afterwards?

for eg. should all 12.1 CAPs be used with 12.1 CCC only or they can be used with 12.2 CCC also?

and if using just 12.2 CCC driver for a particular game whose release date has well passed in the jan. 2012 month, then will the game perform better on that driver or should it be played with 12.1 CCC driver with 12.1 CAP that has optimized configuration for it?

and please do tell me about when do you use the hotfixes? do they give better performances than the WHQLs driver that are shown in the drivers download on AMD site?

Which part of your post ..IS your post? the part under the underscore line or the part over?

The CAP version and driver version don't necessarily have to be the same, people generally just keep the most recent version of both installed whatever they happen to be.

And yeah, polite request: do something about that 19-line sig, it's pretty crazy.

@madcatatlas the one above sig .... and thanks for answering with a question.

@ mistwalker actually i've been wanting to ask you guys about how to present my sig but..... well, i couldn't find the appropriate category in the forums to ask it..... i mean it's all technical here and nothing artistic, isn't it?.....

P.S. i suck at MS Office.

Anyways, thank you for your reply.

I've seen worse. At least its all in one font color. I wish I could have seen the previous mess.

 

[Mistwalker]

is that ok now?... the sig....

100x better!

 

[nix253]

it was gigantic i admit for something as small as sig... but it definitely wasn't mess ... in fact, just so that it doesn't appear to be a mess i made it so big..... but you know like i said i suck at MS office stuff..... it took me 45 mins or more to make the new one even with the content unchanged.....

@ mistwalker thanks for appreciating my dry art.

@ mhouck thanks for telling there do exist people with even worse sense of art.

@ everyone ... thanks for your responses to both my technical query and .... my now "100x better" sig.
