I picked up a sabretooth 990fx r2 great sale at CanadaComputers couldn't pass it up. My question is about the drivers. Does anyone know if ASUS is using a general set for multiple boards. I upgraded the drivers on my M5A99FX PRO the other day and used their latest drivers AMD_Chipset_XPVistaWin7_8_V8973_V901.
I picked up the new board today and doing some prep work before surgery tomorrow went to the ASUS site and started down loading the latest and greatest and lo and behold the same label showed up in the DL manager so I stopped. I said to myself that looks like the same package I downloaded a few days ago. Same size 900MB, same label I think WTF.
My connection isn't the best and if i can save an hour and a half I will.
Anyone else notice this ?
I'm a little hesitant to just install them.
Second question would I need to uninstall and reinstall them when switching board if they're the same package? It's all software so shouldn't make any difference right?
