PC Drivers & Software

[philipcondron2020]

Im having issues with my graphics card and am currently trying to manually install the software and drivers. Though my driver download isnt listed in the Download Seection on the AMD Support page. My Driver is AMD Radeon R9 M200X. I'm not interested in Downloaing the Adrenalin software, I would like to install manually instead. Thank you.

There  is no such thing as a R9 M200X...if you look close you will see it shows 'series'....which one do you have ? This assumes you do not have a APU INFORMATION REQUIRED WHEN POSTING A QUESTION

I have the same problem as philipcondron2020 above... 

My Adobe Photoshop opens with the following error: 

Warning: Driver update recommended "Update driver" as a link

Warning: Driver is out of date (24 months, should be less than 6 months)

Fail: DirectX feature level 11.1 available, feature level 12.0 required

Pass: OpenGL available Pass: DirectX available

Pass: Above required VRAM (2027 MB of 1500 MB required)

GPU Detected: AMD Radeon R9 M200X Series (AMD) 

Opening Settings / Device Manager / Display adapters shows the following 2 devices

- "AMD Radeon R9 M200X Series" 

- "Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600"

I don't know what hardware philipcondron2020 has but I have a Dell Precision M4800 LAPTOP so there is no  way to get any more specific...

Please advise how I can update the driver.

Thanks.

First all R5/7/9 GPU cards are considered to be legacy and not supported with driver updates. The last AMD driver update is from 2022.

Plus it seems like all the R5/7/9 GPU cards only supports DirectX 12 (11_1) or older versions technology,  so you will need to update your Mobile GPU card, if possible, to one that is still supported by AMD and supports  DirectX 12.0 (12.0 - or newer).

Since you have a Dell laptop it is best to install Dell's own AMD OEM GPU Driver since it is 100% compatible with your AMD GPU card.

If it is very out-dated then you can try installing the last basic Mobile AMD driver and see if it works or not.

First thing I would do is to verify the exact R9 M200X series GPU card you have installed in your Dell laptop by downloading and running GPU-Z.

At the bottom of GPU-Z select the AMD GPU card to show all the data about it. You can go to the upper right corner and click on "LOOKUP" to see the exact R9 M200X Series GPU card you have installed.

You can also run SPECCY that will show you all the hardware/software installed in your laptop.

In my opinion I believe that all R9/7/5 series GPU cards uses the same last AMD Driver from here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/drivers.html/graphics/radeon-r9-r7-r5/radeon-r9-200-series/...

The "Release Notes" for the last AMD driver for the R9 M200X Series GPU cards: https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-22-6-1-LEGACY.html

You can try this 3rd party website that modifies newer AMD drivers to work on Non-Supported GPU cards but it won't be able to give DirectX 12.0 since your GPU card doesn't support it: AmernimeZone Modified AMD drivers 

Use at your own risk though.
