    So I started with having some problems with low fps in wow and someone told me that I should try to update my graphic driver. So I did it followed these videos AMD Graphics Drivers & Software ? Download the latest drivers for your graphics products (The videos is on the bottom of the screen) from amd. I've uninstalled the old driver and installed new one but when I install it, nothing happens. It's like I haven't installed anything. So I'm stuck with standard vga graphic card and I have no clue for what I can do.



    Hope you guys can help me.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    if you can't change the resolution through the AMD/ATi control panel you should try reinstalling the driver. If the only available option is VGA it means that the driver did not install or didn't install properly.

    I have tried to install the driver several times before and nothing happens. And if the driver didn't install properly how do I install it right then?

    I've found that the latest Catalyst suite (11.8) doesn't install the display drivers for me, dunno why. So I resorted to installing 11.8 and then installing the display drivers from the 11.8 beta.

    Did that work for you? And if it did can you show me where you can find 11.8 beta? Because the only driver I can install is this one. ATI Radeon? Video Card Drivers

    And there I can't find any 11.8 beta only 11.8
