M17x R3 w/6870m driver update?

I am having a problem updating my old drivers for the 6870m. I try doing the AMD auto detect thing and when it tries to install them, it tells me that the card is not compatible. Is this because I need Dell drivers?, because they're really outdated. Anyway to work around this and install the newest AMD drivers instead?

 

Yeh, the Auto detect thing is hit and miss. Download the latest drivers yourself.

These are the latest, i believe.

AMD Catalyst

if your on Dell drivers, these will go straight over the top.

 

Hi Joel85,

If I install as your comment. still I can swich from 6870 to intel graphic, thanks

Sorry for my bad English

 

Yes, Catalyst comes with the Intel 3000 drivers. Just make sure your on the AMD gpu when you install!

 

Thanks, I do it and everything is good except I can change the brightness of the lcd, so any solution for this , thanks.

 

Try a clean install.

Uninstall drivers in device manager, use drive sweeper in safe mode and delete AMD files. Run CC cleaner and repair registry until all is fixed.

Install Dell drivers, install 12.11's over top.

 

Currently Dell drivers comes with the Intel 3000 drivers. That's why you need to to install dell one and on top of them AMD latest.

 

I do as you comment but it's stiil can not change the screen brightness

 

So it doen't work using FN +F4 or through Windows power options?

 

It doen't work using FN + F4 or FN + F5

 

Could you try the process again but use the 13.1 drivers instead? See if that helps?

 

Sorry to bump the thread... but after updating my drivers I'm having the same screen brightness problem. I can change the brightness only when using the Intel card... not the AMD one.
