Question about driver sweeper. So apparently since uninstalling the drivers isn't enough, but I guess you can never be too sure, especially switching to a whole different manufacturer of graphics cards. Anyway my question is, in the example picture there is 3 different nvidia things, do I clear every single one? Dont want to mess up the card or anything. I just assume when I have to do it, that there will be 3 different nvidia drivers. Edit: Then again.... there could be problems like this, seems most of the posters have this problem. http://www.ngohq.com/news/19259-beware-of-driver-sweeper-on-windows-7-a.html

I've got an XFX DD 7970 (not black) and I'm happy with it. I'd heard its cooler wasn't as good, but at the price I paid for it I couldn't pass it up. It ran hot until I started using a fan profile with MSI afterburner. Basically I think CCC uses way too conservative fan speeds. It idles around 40% at 45C now and runs at full load around 60% at 65C. At >60% the fan is loud, but its only like that when I'm playing with headphones. Idling is barely audible.

In case you're still on the fence, XFX has a lifetime warranty if you live in the US or Canada.
