ati mobility radeon hd 5470 drivers

[EXQNGaming]

Ok so i have a laptop for about 3.5 yeaes and my sister had it for about another 3 so the gpu drivers haven t been updated in about 6 freaking years and whenever i try to boot up the laptop it is just a blue screen and cs go is basicly unplayable at medium settings 1280 by 800 before it had no problem runing at 1280 by 800 at maxed out settings so i am begging u guys to tell me how to update the drivers for the ati mobility radeon hd 5470.

Thx for your time.

Get the latest drivers from the laptop maker's website - - in the "Support" section.

Your issues indicate something other than simply an old driver though in my view.
If old driver worked okay before, and no hardware has been changed, old driver should still work okay now.

Heck, my 2010 laptop is still using original GPU drivers (Nvidia & Intel) and it works fine. I don't believe in updating drivers just for the sake of it when everything works okay. I know everything is not okay with your laptop but like I said, I think something else needs fixing, not the driver.

It's possible the driver is corrupt though, so like I said, get new driver from laptop maker's website and see if that fixes it.

If maker has closed website or you can't find your laptop model, go direct to the AMD website:

Ok i will try the driver update first 1 question doe will the windows update toll do the job of updating the drivers??

 

[Phillip Corcoran]

Windows Update cannot be relied upon for the latest drivers.

In any case, if your laptop is running XP or Vista, Microsoft has already ended support for those versions (no more updates). So that's no longer an option.

Ok so i went to the asus website and all i can update is a bios update and that update is from 2010

I am running the windows 7 64 version.

Don't mess with BIOS updates, you could end up with a dead laptop.

What's your laptop model?

K72DR Is my laptop model from asus

 

[Phillip Corcoran]

You've aready got the latest AMD Radeon graphics driver for that lappy model - - - released 12 May 2010.

Nothing since then, not for the K72Dr.

Wouldn't do any harm to try re-installing it though. It's in the "Chipset" category:

Well i mean i downloaded the amd driver tool and it found some drivers but when it finished it was just a black screen and i had too boot up a windows version that still worked. Maybe i need to uninstall the older ones first?

 

[Phillip Corcoran]

Yes, you could try that.

I don't know what else to suggest so good luck.
