Catalyst 9.3 display driver: Conclusion
The Catalyst 9.3 display driver isn't really faster than it fast predecessor, but didn't cause in trouble during our tests - so updating from 9.2 to 9.3 isn't really necessary. But if you just bought a Radeon card or reinstall your system you should use the Catalyst 9.3 of course.
