Topic: updating AMD gpu drivers: express uninstall? Posted: 09 Nov 2014 at 2:35pm |
windows 7 64 bit
cpu: amd 4100 3.6ghz quad mem: 8 gb gpu: xfx radeon hd 7750 1gb core Hello, I wish to update my desktop's graphics driver to see if it runs faster on a newer game I've been playing (train simulator 2015). I have never updated it in 2 years since it's been working fine. It's running AMD catalyst 12.8 from 2012. The problem I have is this: I read a thread online not to use AMD driver autodetect right away but to uninstall the old driver first, and not use "express uninstall". The reason being, it might remove a usb driver that renders the mouse and keyboard unuseable. So I go to control panel, select AMD catalyst install manager etc and in the uninstall manager choose custom uninstall now I see this: I don't know which do i check to uninstall, can someone please advise? BTW, I'm trying to install Catalyst Software Suite 14.9 (9/29/2014) after I uninstall the old one. Edited by ralf_1112 - 09 Nov 2014 at 2:38pm |

You can just tick the Display Driver and then have the new driver overwrite any of the old versions of the software you are not too sure about.
