Sapphire has links for drivers that are stored on their site. Are these the same ATI drivers or specialized?

I only download the drivers from ATI's website but I do not believe Sapphire creates their own drivers. The only thing that might be modified is throwing up a Sapphire splash screen or two and maybe installing an extra app or two (probably for diagnostics/overclocking). There's pretty much no reason not to download drivers from the ATI web site.

Yes, use only what's on ATi's official site. Usually, the "custom" drivers from manufacturers websites, are outdated. I don't know if this applies to Sapphire, but they certainly don't have anything new or better in their drivers.
