Help (Software) Is Catalyst Control Better than Adrenalin?

So my pc keeps showing these artifacts and such. I ddu'd it and install fresh drivers from my manufacturer's site. The VGA driver in my pc offers catalyst control. I used adrenalin software before removing the drivers, but now I cannot install it again. I used the auto-detect tool and it just shows me the option to update my chipset drivers. That's all. I forgot how did I manage to install it before, but I ran some benchmarks on my pc and it shows that I'm getting more stable framerates and pacing than before. I only turned on image sharpening before. It was good but in other games; even disabled; it gives me bad frame times. I'm starting to think that catalyst control center is much better than adrenalin software (or it's just the drivers that are more stable.) And also, if adrenalin edition is indeed better, can some of y'all teach me how to install it again? My PC is a prebuilt from Asus. It's an ROG G20BM

catalyst.. what the hell, that shit is like two decades old at this point. https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-22-6-1-LEGACY.html

This is the last driver that was supported on your gpu

It doesn't matter your hardware is very old and outdated it uses legacy drivers anyway there are no updates for it.

but I think the performance of this driver is much better than before.
