    Hi all,

    Is there a way to upgrade the 6990M drivers without flashing the bios? i tried it via Catalyst but I got an error saying the hardware/software wasnt supported.

    Thanks much in advance

    Slick, I'm running the 12.2 Previews. Should I update to the 12.3 certified? If so did you notice a increase in performance? Will they install over the 12.2 Preview drivers?

    like slickdude said, just go to AMD website and look up your card drivers. You can also go on Guru3D.com as well if you want a specific driver. I'm running 12.3 right now.
