I have bought a new video card based on the ATI Radeon HD 5670 chipset.

I couldn't make it work with the latest ATI Catalyst drivers found on their website, only the drivers found on the CD delivered with the card worked.

How can I know the version of Catalyst that is installed on my PC (running Windows 7 64-bits)?

The ATI Catalyst Control Center returns the following information:

Driver Packaging Version    8.673-091110a-092263C   
Provider    ATI Technologies Inc.   
2D Driver Version   8.01.01.973 
2D Driver File Path /REGISTRY/MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/CLASS/{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/0000    
Direct3D Version    8.14.10.0708    
OpenGL Version  6.14.10.9120    
Catalyst™ Control Center Version    2009.1110.2225.40230

I do not recognize anything pointing to a "marketing version". The website says the current version of Catalyst is 10.2.
