    Hi,

    I am wondering, which version of Catalyst corresponds to Driver Version 8.563.2.1-090401a-079160C-Lenovo. Is it 9.6? How can I find out?

    Also, is it okay to install the latest drivers from ATI or should I stick with the Lenovo drivers? I don't care about switchable graphics, I turned it off.

    Thanks

    Anyone?

    Reason I'm asking is because I am having subpar performance in WoW - low fps and also some weird kind of graphics stuttering during movement. I was hoping I could update the driver to fix it.

    One way to find out would be to install it and then check the Catalyst control center info page, or maybe you can check a readme after you unzip the driver package.

    If you don't care about the switchable graphics however, then just go ahead and download the 3000 Mobility radeon drivers over at ATI which are the 9.9 version.
