  Graphics Card — Update Software …or not

  Posted by Ron Moore on December 26, 2015 at 6:39 pm

  I’m running a Radeon R9 270 (2GB GDDR5) card with Win7 and 8GB of RAM and work mainly in After Effects cc 2015 and Cinema 4D with Element 3d as well, and am at a point where I’m satisfied with the performance I’m getting out of this configuration. I’m of the “if it ain’t broke don’t mess with it” mindset but would like to get someone’s advice on a software update. Every time I turn the computer on, I get this reminder that the “Radeon Software Crimson Edition 15.12” is ready for download, but am hesitant to go ahead with it when in fact, it may improve the display and rendering capabilities of my machine. If anyone has experience with this latest update, it would make my decision a bit easier.

  Thanks, Dave, for your take on this. I think I’m staying put!

  in windows you can create a restore point, then install the update. if the update breaks things, then you can restore back to the restore point.

  however i agree with dave, if everything is working well why risk messing it up.
