ASUS Drivers
For consistency, we used the standard Catalyst 3.8 drivers - the ASUS drivers included on the CD were rev 3.7. Otherwise, the GUI has been slightly modified as shown below, however, the changes are confined to different icons in the tabs.
A new skin for the old ceremony is pretty much all there is to the ASUS version of the drivers.
