Author Topic: forget AMD (Driver related issue) (Read 1855 times)

Jubel · September 11, 2011, 02:43:20 PM

So, it became apparent to me that I needed to update my drivers, because I never have since buying my computer, and a few games just don't work because they cannot render or some stuff.

So, I go to AMD's website, get the auto-detect thing to update my card, and BOOM!

The exact opposite of what I needed happened. Bye bye drivers. So, out of fear of loving up my computer, and the fact AMD's website is a big humble jumble of stuff that confuses me, I need your guys' help.

My card is a Radeon HD 5450. I cannot find the drivers for the life of me. :c

According to AMD, I have the latest drivers installed.
forget yes, so now all I cannot do is play all the games I wish.

They got completely wiped, but I think I found the right thing to download.

$10 says you did something wrong somewhere

TheChaosCarrier · September 11, 2011, 03:27:07 PM

do you have the installation CD for your drivers

they support AMD's cards, so it has automatic update thingies.

Uh no. The updated drivers (at the time) were installed at the factory.
So no CD.

All that does is detect your manufacturer and link you to their driver page.

Nvidia drivers automatically just quickly disable your graphics card and then restart it, removing the need for a restart.

Why doesn't AMD do that :(

Ugh I hate my 5450. My CCC wont update so I'm stuck with massive aliasing.
