Re: Radeon 7850 2 GB drivers?
Answers to your questions:
1) That is 3D as in Gaming.
2) I've not actually tried it, but I do not believe that you can easily switch between driver versions.
3) The ones offered through additional drivers have already been packaged as .deb files, and if you install those, they will automatically get updated when you update kernel versions. The ones offered through the AMD site have to be installed using their script, although they do have the option to build packages from them. But, every time you do a kernel update, you have to reinstall the drivers because they are kernel-version-specific and do not automatically update. The ones from the AMD site, however, tend to be newer than the ones through Additional Drivers.
