How to upgrade a Mac Pro (Tower). Most were designed for windows computers and driver support can be an issue. How to upgrade the graphics card on a Mac. Optical Drive to Blu-Ray.

After trying for several weeks to update the AMD graphic chips of the 2011 MBP, I have successfully found a way to update the catalyst drivers to 12.6. Please use the following guide to greatly enhance your FPS and overall gaming experience within bootcamp: Try updating any other Windows 7 (Vista, etc) software before initiating this process.

Updating Catalyst This guide it might work for a very limited certain uers. We may know that Windows also recognizes drivers registry entries wich most of are in use locked, and cannot be deleted with such programs like (Driver Sweeper successor), at least not for me. Java 6. So Windows will continue installing as PnP device your driver for the graphic card each time you delete it & reboot. Said that already, it won´t let you install any Catalyst package in this stage again properly, as it has issues with your registries.

Maybe someone could drop more light into the issue. Happy to report that the version 13.3 Beta driver package as linked below worked for me fine. Some other observations: - I'm running Win 7 64-bit, strangely enough I had no trouble keeping my drivers updated when running Win 7 32-bit. - Don't choose to Delete the video drivers from your Device Manager tree. Nothing worked until I allowed them to be reinstalled, then it remembered all my settings and loaded the new driver.

- Always choose Custom Installation so that you will see exactly what the package is trying to give you. If one of the items is not 'ATI Display Driver' then it's not working.

- Catalyst version 13.6 Beta does not appear to have Windows 7 drivers. It actually has one fewer MSI package than 13.3. If you're running Win 8 maybe it'll be fine? - AMD's takeover has not make ATI products less of a headache. - If all else fails, be aware that there is a 2011 Catalyst package specifically for Bootcamp, good for 2007-2011 systems.

Even though the MAC Graphics choice in the driver search page doesn't normally give us the drivers we want, that's where the Bootcamp option is. And here's another good thread. (Is Garrett998 also Ineidzcode? Click to expand.I'm not clear what you mean. My point was that in my experience the procedures were absolutely not the same.

AMD's own autodetect application worked perfectly fine under my Win7 32-bit. Always had the latest non-beta drivers installed, no issues. Even some of Apple's own Bootcamp drivers have not been working since I switched to 64-bit. I have no Bootcamp Utility in my tray. And the various keyboard support refuses to install.

I can't change my keyboard to not require Fn in order to use Function keys normally, or make use of volume shortcuts. Quite frustrating for games, as I'm sure you can imagine. Click to expand.No, you're misinterpreting the suggestion. The package was correct for my GPU, the version(s) of the installer did not function as expected.

This entire thread is about installers not functioning as expected. I didn't mean to suggest it was necessary to choose Custom Install, I mean it will save the user a lot of time trying to install packages that won't appropriately install a driver. Several times the installer listed and successfully installed exactly two things: 1. The Updater package. HDMI Audio support. No video driver and no Catalyst Centre.

It did not halt, because it had no reason to. If it doesn't say plainly it will install a video driver, try something else. That's all I'm talking about.

Macbook Pro 15' 2011 6750m I followed all of the instructions, downloaded the 12.6 beta (just to be safe) and am at the point where the ATI Catalyst control center installer is asking me what I want installed. Included on this page is 'AMD Display Driver 8.890.0.0000' Is this the correct driver or should it read 12.6 or some other version number. I just don't want to be installing exactly what I had in the first place again with no updates. I will go ahead and install, but wanted to be sure that I am actually updating something. I'm trying to follow this procedure, but unfortunately the links to the BETA drivers 12.6 and 13.3 do not work anymore. I've tried with the latest beta drivers from AMD, but they won't install correctly. In the middle of the installation some error occurs and windows reverts back to the old bootcamp drivers.

Edit: I found the 13.3 beta driver here: The installation stopped when trying to install.NET 4.5. I cancelled, then tried again with custom install, and removed anything that wasn't the driver itself.

It worked, device manager now shows driver 13.3 as installed.
