Hi Guys!!
I will be (hopefully) getting my Sapphire hd 7750 today!
So I figured I should prep my system beforehand...
I thought about downloading the latest drivers from the internet (no other choice since my DVD drive is not working anyway :lol
My question being where should I download them from?
This will be my first graphic card so I'm confused!
Should I get them from Sapphire's website or should I get them from AMD's?
I did a quick search on both the websites and found that Sapphire's website has many individual downloads compared to AMD's
So which driver package should I get?
Will installing the catalyst software suite from AMD be enough?
What about the Media codec package available on Sapphire's website?
It's not available on AMD's driver download page!
So does that mean it is not needed?
Should I get the beta drivers for better performance? Are they stable enough?
Also my current system has 3 gigs of RAM and has Windows Ultimate 32-bit installed.
And the graphic card will have 1 GB GDDR5 RAM.
So will win7 32 bit OS be able to use 3+1 GB of RAM? What about 32 bit system RAM limit?
Do I need to install 64 bit Win7?
Or will windows 32 bit be able to utilise all the RAM?
Are there any other things I need to be careful while installing the card?
