Hi tk471138, I'm glad to hear you made the switch to AMD.
Catalyst Application Proflies (CAPs) are generally only needed for CrossFire (multi gpu) users and you don't generally need them with a single GPU. However, sometimes there are fixes/tweaks for even single GPUs in AMD CAPs; you can read the notes for these, but all CAP fixes/tweaks are integrated into the next driver release so if you don't see anything for single GPUs in a CAP then don't bother and don't worry about older CAPs.
If you do end up installing one of the CAPs I would recommend removing the old CAP first (named Application Profiles in add/remove). If you don't you'll have multiple Application Profiles in your add/remove and it may even cause issues, so I would say it's safe practice to remove the old copy before proceeding.
With your 7850 you'll see some very respectable gains with the 12.11 beta drivers, although I do not know if they will help in ClOD (it would be good to get feedback if they do). I would suggest you give them a shot although keep in mind they are beta, and may have some issues, but I haven't run into any yet; they seem to be one of the best drivers from AMD to date.
I hope this helps
