    This is confusing...

    I am trying to install Bumptop. I downloaded the free version to try but it tells me to update my drivers. This is what the site gives me:

    It suggests me to download 9.2 drivers. And they even give it to me. Here

    Also my Dxdiag.exe says:

    But I thought I was using E-wrecked's 9.1

    Device Manager says this when I click on Properties for 1 of the cards:


    ??????????

    OK, that makes me feel better.

    But my problem continues. (It installed, it just says 3d hardware acceleration failed, update drivers here)

    How should I force it to run or something?

    Any takers?
