    Find those drivers at Guru3D (google it) grab yourself a 'Mobility Modder.net' and Driver Fusion program (google those too)
    1. Run device manager and uninstall your Display adapter(s);
    2. Restart your pc in safe mode (press F8 during startup or something);
    3. In safe mode run the Driver Fusion tool and ONLY select AMD drivers and uninstall/delete all the found drivers/services/keys etc. Then restart your pc in normal mode;
    4. Run the downloaded AMD driver unpack it and when you get to the Ati install screen click cancel, remember were the driver was unpacked to (normally at C:\AMD\);
    5. Run Mobility Modder.net and select the C:\AMD\ directory in which you unpacked your fresh AMD driver and let the program run;
    6. Now you can go to C:\AMD\.. and select the new fresh modded AMD driver and run it, install. When it asks you to reboot you are golden and set correctly;
    7. Reboot and enjoy. If it does not work (which can happen!) repeat from step 3.

    Thanks for the guide, but I have a question, is AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 a switchable graphics display adapter?
    And do I have to update my ati drivers? I've heard that for hp notebooks its best to stick with the hp specific driver

    Thanks

    Hi all,

    I have a MSI GX600, basically this.

    Its a C2D 5850, 4gb ram, win 7 x64, and a 512 MB nvidia 8600m GT (the DDR2 version).

    I have been unable to find out a solution for this problem. No matter what I do, I am unable to update my GPU's drivers beyond 275.50. I was unable to install any drivers for it till I read this thread here where a guy pointed out that 275.50 works and I have had it since then.

    I would really like to install newer drivers for my machine as these drivers are ancient.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    ATI now supports official updates for mobile cards. ATI updates their mobile (as well as desktop) drivers once a month. They can be found here.

    Hey guys! I need help! I have a Dell Inspiron 15 (3521, Late 2012) with an AMD Radeon HD 7670M and a Intel HD Graphics 4000 in it. There is a driver for these cards on the Dell website but they are 2 years old now and i would like to update mine but the driver on the AMD website doesn't work because it doesn't support switchable graphics. So my question is: Is there any way to update my ati graphical driver to the most recent one?

    These drivers contain support for only a limited number of cards, so make sure you're downloading the correct one for your model! Although they are recommended as a baseline driver to use for stability, updating to a newer driver usually results in some sort of performance boost.

    Question, the people with 780M, what driver and OS are you guys running? my 780M seems to be underperforming with the latest drivers.

    Someone with the same specs is getting 100+ fps in Borderlands 2 on ultra, i'm only getting like 50-70fps with everything on medium/high with physx on low.

    As i'm on Windows 10 i can't test much drivers, as i keep getting incompatible errors.
