Outdated AMD driver

So I wanted to play the Battlefront 3 beta even though I will surely lag quite a bit because I have an old iMac running Windows 7 64bit via Bootcamp. Upon loading the game I got an error message saying my graphics card driver was out of date. I have 11.1 but I need 15.7. My GPU is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT. I tried to find a driver on the AMD site but I couldn't find one that would work with my GPU.

 

Am I just SOL until I get a new computer or is there anything I can do?

I think you're out of luck. I remember trying to play Portal 2 on an iMac with that 2600 XT, that didn't even run well.

If we compare to the 'minimum' specs, you're pretty far off sadly:

Also, isn't that iMac from 2007? I believe I recently replaced the HDD in a machine of that model.
