Just video driver? All of CCC? Or something else?

Just got a 7850 after using my 8800GTS (640MB) for WAY too long.

I uninstalled the Nvidia software. Now, I'm wondering what I should install for drivers when I install the card. From what I remember, people used to say not to install the entire CCC, just the driver part. But, that was ages ago.

So, I figured I'd ask what others are using. Just drivers? CCC in its entirety or something else.

-Thanks, Ken

I install CCC, the driver, and the mandatory installation software. CCC has worked fine for me since I started using AMD again with the 4xxx in 2008. The HDMI audio driver, SDK, Drag and Drop, etc. you can install if you use those functions.

Thanks guys.

I downloaded it and saved it to my desktop. Installed the new card (and a new CPU fan) and booted back up. Installed the software and am about to fire up BF3 and see what I was missing. Thanks again for the solid information.
