I would go for the Cat 3.8 & if you play CoD then get the hotfix.
The new Cat 3.10 are out next week
I was a long time nvidia fan but you just cannot beat the IQ & speed of the Radeon

Thumbs up

Make sure you wipe every last bit of the Nvidia stuff off your PC though!

Sure thing, I'm gonna remove all nvidia software via add-remove progs/control panel, and then uninstall drivers via device manager if they are still there..

I suggest you use Driver Cleaner 2 to clean your system. Download it from here

I would also get the Omega drivers in place of the ATi ones, they fixed all my 3.9 issues. Drivers that work
