AMD Windows 8 WDDM 1.2 driver for (almost) everyone with AMD

[GMan]

For the Mobility: First download and extract the 12.4 WHQL. After extraction, close the installer.

Copy/paste the .inf in the zip in this post over the one at C:\AMD\Support\12-4_vista_win7_32_dd_ccc\Packages\Drivers\Display\W7_INF.

Open device manager, right click the Basic Display, choose update driver software. Browse My Computer, Let me pick, Have Disk, Browse...

Then navigate to the folder above and double click on CL137813.inf. Click next, click ok and then it will install. Reboot.
Run C:\AMD\Support\12-4_vista_win7_32_dd_ccc\Setup.exe to install the CCC and other features.

You're welcome.

Ok. Thought it might not be compatible with win8 . If there are no compatibility issues I think I can install that file on 4570 as well.

 

[GMan]

You'll need the edited .inf to install from the 12.4 WHQL, as shown, for Mobility.

AMD does have a Mobility download but many hardware makers do not allow that to be used and hardware ids are not even included in that, still.

The .inf is specifically made for your hardware.

 

[nfs1mw]

Ok. Thanks again

Will do the inf method for 4570

It seems that none of the driver downloads have resume support.

Unfortunately this does not work for me. I'm stuck using the intel display driver.

I tried running that install but as it is doing in my screen blacks out. If I sleep and come back on the intel display will kick back in again and I can see again.

Looking in the screen resolution and such it seems that this does not install/configure the switchable graphics part and it tries to active both display drivers at the same time blacking out the scren. Not sure how to get the ATI driver going by itself

 

[GMan]

This is not for hybrid graphics. See Leshcat for that at Google.

To GMan: Hi. I'm new to this forum and I'm so glad to meet you.
I'm really appreciated what've you done here.
I myself have a Mobility 4570 with Win8 x64 installed.
The instructions that you posted earlier is for win32.
I just want to know if I do the similar things i.e. download the 12.4 WHQL x64 / replace the file/ update the driver/ install ccc
I guess that I'll need another .inf for x64.
In that case please make one for me.
Thank you so much!

 

[GMan]

I can easily do so too for x64, but then driver signing will have to be disabled permanently or at system boot each time.

Hey, welcome to the forum. Glad to see another new member arrive.

Yes, I would have to make you a different one for x64, but you'll have to be prepared to do as my quote above says. The other option with it all is for you to sign the driver files. I don't do that because I have no need myself and never bothered learning how, although it's not difficult - so this is one of those things where you'd have to help yourself, so to speak.

So, if you want to do one of those three options, let me know and post your hardware ids so I can make it for you properly.

 

[FallenStar]

Hi. Nice to see you again. Here's is my hardware IDs

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&SUBSYS_027D1025&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&SUBSYS_027D1025
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&CC_0300

By the way, I have one of those Acers with AMD Turion II and Mobilitiy Radeon 4570
Running Win8 x64
Hope that's all you need
I've already read how to install & use unsigned drivers. So don't worry about that.
Thank you so much in advance

 

[GMan]

Cool - I have to download the driver myself so you can do the same too and extract it as per above instructions, then close the installer....

download from Guru3D.com

I'll post it briefly.

 

[GMan]

Copy/paste the .inf in the zip in this post over the one at C:\AMD\Support\12-4_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF.

Open device manager, right click the Basic Display, choose update driver software. Browse My Computer, Let me pick, Have Disk, Browse...

Then navigate to the folder above and double click on C7137813.inf. Click next, click ok and then it will install.

Reboot.

Run C:\AMD\Support\12-4_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc\Setup.exe to install the CCC and other features.

Let me know how it goes. I ran into one or two drivers in the past months that I had to make compatible for Windows 6.2 also. This may be the case here as well, but probably not.

Good luck.

 

[FallenStar]

On my way, Captain
Thank you, kind sir

Right now I'm kind of in the middle of smt
So I'll let you know the result tommorow
See ya

 

[FallenStar]

@GMan I did evrythng as instructed
Finally I got past the nasty notice "AVECC cant be started blah blah blah"
For that I thank you
However, onto the AMD VISION ECC, I cant seem to change any settings beside WifiRadio CPUProfiles & CPUPower ???
Before, when I was on win7, the AVECC had tons of settings to adjust evrythng.
Smt's wrong I guess

 

[GMan]

Does it say ATI in the Device Manager now?

 

[FallenStar]

Yep. After install ur .inf. It changed to ATI Radeon 4570 Mobility

Good deal. That's the important part. Enjoy.

I have an ATI Radeon 6970 2gb, using the Windows8 drivers released by AMD most things look great but Mosaic (or whatever the hell they call that thing!) is all messed up, icons are low resolution until I "mouse over" and I can't read the text, this pic shows what it's like:

[DEL]Is there a possibillity to install a driver for my Ati Radeon HD3450 AGP with subjoined hardware ids in Windows 8 Release Preview 32 bit?

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_95C6&SUBSYS_00281043&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_95C6&SUBSYS_00281043
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_95C6&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_95C6&CC_0300[/DEL]

I extracted the 12-4_agp-hotfix_vista_win7_32_dd_ccc file and let device manager search for a driver, that worked, problem solved.

I have a HIS x1550 ati video card with 512 megs of ram on it...I downloaded the new amd drivers support files for windows 8...of course my card isn't listed...but if it is possible to make it work...on my pc...I would greatly appreciate it...I know about editing the inf file...but so far I haven't hit the right way to do it. :huh:. Device Ids are as followstwo sets)

AMD Catalyst Drivers Windows 8 Consumer Preview

It is only for these cards:

• AMD Radeon™ HD 6000 Series
• AMD Radeon HD 5000 Series
• AMD Radeon HD 7000M Series
• AMD Radeon HD 6000M Series
• AMD Mobility Radeon™ HD 5000 Series
• AMD A-Series APU
• AMD C-Series APU
• AMD E-Series APU
• AMD FirePro™ Series
• AMD FIrePro 3D Series

---------------

If you are like me and don't have one of those (I have AGP HD 3850 Turbo), you must edit the inf file and use the device manager to install. The problem here is that it is much more complicated than before because of missing revisions all throughout the inf.

I just hacked my way through it and got it to install very well on Windows x86 32 bit. I can easily do so too for x64, but then driver signing will have to be disabled permanently or at system boot each time.

If you would like me to create a custom .inf for your card not included on the list above (I can likely do mobile too as I have done in the past), please make a post with your hardware id for your specific card. Also, download the driver above and extract it to a folder so you have it ready.

Please also specify if you would like the AMD External service installed with the driver, or not - along with which you need between x86 or x64.
