I'm installed Catalyst 15.14 beta for Gta 5 improvement but the driver shown as r7 m260 instead of r7 m265 and give me the bad performance,how to fix it?

Core i5-4210u , R7 m265 , 4 GB of Rams , Windows 8.1
Thanks !!
 
Normally with mobile gpu's windows and cc will only tell you the series that card belongs to.For example, I was using a 7370 which was always shown as 7300.
 

But the performance is so worse cause it's not r7 m265 it's r7 m260
 


Download gpu-z and run.Post the screenshot here.
 
Basically use the same architecture and chip and have same number of shaders and Transistors with the only difference being the base clock speed and codename.
 
Try removing the driver completely..Boot into safe mode and run either Display driver uninstaller or edriver sweeper.
Restart into normal and then install the gta v optimized version...
 

I've tried that using DDU,but the result is the same.
 


here i'm using the old driver with the lastest catalyst 15.4 beta

THat's pretty messed up..WHat is that memory size and the sahders too doesn't seem to be right..Try rolling back to the last stable driver and compare the gpuz screenshot...
 


Haha alright I'll try that 😀
