• Older card drivers interfere with new card drivers?
    3 replies, posted
So for christmas I recently upgraded my card from a 5750, to a 6870, and the performance increase has barley been noticeable. I was wondering if maybe the drivers from my previous card could be messing up the drivers for current card, or if my card just isn't as much as an improvement as I originally thought. Much appreciated
I would recommend re-installing the drivers when switching cards like that, even though the Catalyst installer is practically the same for all AMD cards. The small performance increase might be caused by a bottleneck in some other part of the system though, like your CPU. You should post the other specs of your system. 5750 -> 6870 should be a pretty significant upgrade.
I suspected it would be a bottleneck, most likely my CPU [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/rBIkE.png[/IMG]
It's probably both issues, more-so the bottlenecking.
