Now i don't know what I'm doing wrong since i'm used to nividia but for some reason every time i restart my PC and start a game the fps will drop drastically so i check for driver updates and i see that there is a new one ( 16.3.2 WHQL ) so i update it and restart and that will fix the fps problem BUT every time i restart i will have the fps problem again and when i check for driver update it says that another update is available the same version AGAIN.....anyone know whats going on ? getting tired of restarting my pc twice every time just to play anything..
 
Hi,

Please do try doing a clean install of the graphics card driver that may help in solving the issue.
- Go to Device Manager and uninstall the AMD graphics driver.
- Next is to open Programs and Features then uninstall anything related to AMD.
- Once completely uninstalled, download and install the latest driver.
- Here's the link: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
- Reboot the laptop once the latest driver has been installed.
- And after the reboot do test it again and see if the same problem will persist.
- Last option if all these will not work is to reinstall Windows.
