Install Driver without Suite

[Snake3y3s]

Is there a way to install the latest driver without having to install the interface/suite??

I have been having ENDLESS problems with my R9 390 where watching videos or youtube would cause my machine to hard crash to a black screen. Thing is, Games are perfectly fine... I can play for hours with no issue whatsoever

 

I have long suspected that its AMD's stupid Wattman system, and I was right...

for a long time i would get the error warning that Wattman has restored defaults because of a error and only recently it has been causing the hard crashes

 

In this thinking, I resorted to rolling back drivers and went all the way back to 15.20.1062, (still has the old AMD Radeon settings interface) and... so far... for about a week now, my machine has been stable.

is there any way to have that interface, but with a newer driver?
or is the newer driver even necessary with the card generation that I have?

You can download previous driver releases for your card from AMD's website: https://www.amd.com/en/support/previous-drivers/graphics/amd-radeon-r9-series/amd-radeon-r9-300-series/amd-radeon-r9-390

 

I would uninstall your device from Device Manager first before installing the driver again.

and this is what i have done....

I want to know if I can install the latest driver, or the latest driver for my card atleast... WITHOUT having to install the Adrenalin software

 

OR if its even gives any advantage
