    Hey all. I'm trying to get better FPS in Battlefield 4. I noticed my 6990M driver was version 9.3 (circa 2012). I tried the auto update tool from Radeon and it recommended 15.7. I let it download and update, but on reboot it says no supported graphics adapter found and my GPU shows up with an error in device manager. I rolled back and it works fine again.

    Next I tried manually going with 15.7 off Radeon website and the same issue occurs. I rolled back and life is good again.

    What am I doing wrong here?
