    Hi guys,

    I have just received my 4530s laptop. The graphic card is a AMD RADEON HD 6490M.
    I know this is not a laptop for gamers, and the graphic card is entry level.
    However, I would like to get the most of it.
    I have just seen that HP does not accept the use of catalyst drivers.
    I am wondering how you guys are doing with your graphic card drivers ?

    The only third party drivers I know for ATI are Omegadrivers, which are quite outdated and does not support my card.
    I have found the ATI Mobility Modder tool, which modifies files from the official catalyst drivers to make them compatible with HP Laptops. However, the tool has been discontinued too.

    So what are the alternatives left ?

    Beforehand, thanks.
