Update Catalist 12.8

[Coolharmony2]

I have catalist 12.4 on my windows 7 64 bits.

I have Saphire 7850 2 gb.

Can i update to Catalist 12.8 ?

Is it easy ?

Do i need many time ?

Should I uninstall the old version before install the update ?

How to uninstall the old version ?

I would like to have all steps and the link how to find the update to install it unless any issues.

Thank-you !

If you want some nice performance enhancements in games and corrected hardware acceleration in Firefox... get the 12.8 drivers

If i don't need to uninstall the old version.

Will the new 12.8 be install on the old 12.4 ?

What do you think about the AMD tool auto detection ?

You do not need to do this. You can install AMD drivers right over the previous ones.

you can, but I had more problems in the past installing a new version over a older, than on a clean install.
