AMD graphics driver problem

Hey guys im having trouble installing the latest beta AMD driver.. not sure why.

 

 

what happened was I downloaded and installed like normal... it asked me to reboot and when it was done booting my 2 screens were duplicated instead of extended and the screen res was terrible. a small window popped up saying no AMD hardware was installed or the driver isnt functioning correctly.

 

 

so i uninstalled the driver. then I rebooted and windows automatically installed the 14.7 drivers upon bootup, which worked just fine. I then uninstalled these then installed the beta drivers. Again, same issue.

 

any ideas on how to fix?

 

ive had a lot of problems with AMD drivers since 13.x ... getting tired of it really..

Beta drivers are beta, why dont you stay on the stable releases? And not 14.9 cause in some cases that causes problems

BETA DRIVERS

but the improvements they have for newer games... such as the Call of duty that was released recently. (which i dont play but still)

 

I noticed a difference in BF4 performance with 14.9

Dude, its AMD drivers. If it doesnt work then you have to downgrade.
