I have Radeon 7570 Card on Windows 7 Pro Platform. Have upgrade tool installed and it keeps asking me to upgrade to a lower iteration of the driver software.
I have 16.40.2311 currently installed - the upgrade keeps telling me 15.7.1 is the recommended driver upgrade.
Can anyone explain this oddity.
Thanks
Gareth
The HD-7570 is considered to be Legacy (old). AMD doesn't update the drivers for this card anymore. The last driver for this card is the one asking you to install. Legacy
