Z575 not recognizing 6650m drivers

[grocerybag]

Hey guys, I recently just got my Z575 with a 6650m graphics card in it, but when i go through AMD's website to install drivers it makes me install a driver that is not compatible with the 6650m. Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong, since AMD is using the catalyst installer which auto-picks the driver for you.

Started here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx, input 6650m and etc, which takes me to here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx, and then through a series of steps i end up downloading catalyst 12.6. I've been doing more digging around and have read that the drivers from AMD won't work, but the drivers from Lenovo WILL work, although they're a year or two old. I just reformatted the laptop's hdd and reinstalled and I can't seem to download the graphics drivers off of Lenovo's website, they seem to be missing it. Any ideas?

Use the drivers from Lenovo's site.

Laptop video drivers are almost always only supported by the laptop vendor unless stated otherwise.

Right, I'd already tried that and lenovo's website doesn't have them. Anywhere else I could find them?

They do have them. Scroll down.

An even better way is to install the Lenovo System Update for your OS. 3.15 for XP, 4 for 7. It will find any missing or outdated drivers automatically..

Try and download them. See what happens.

Must be an issue with their site. Try again later or use the update utility.
