AMD Radeon HD 5000 & Opengl

[quickieaccount]

I seem to have been having lots of troubles with Opengl recently (with games that require opengl, that is). According to any updates that I've found, including automatic updates, my drivers are up to date, and yet every time I try to play a game that requires opengl, it says that I need to update my drivers. Is it just that the AMD radeon HD 5000 series graphics card is too old to actually have the latest version of opengl or something? Does the fact that I'm running windows8 make some sort of difference?

If anyone's had similar troubles and has a work around that's be awesome.
(P.S. I'm not sure what kind of specs about my computer anyone needs to know, direct me to where I can find them and I'll get specs out too)

It should work with OpenGL, What 5000 series card is it? I run SecondLife which is OpenGL on a HD5850 just fine maxed out.

You might want to download the new 13.12 driver and then uninstall the older drivers and reboot, then install the new drivers and reboot once more, should be fine.

Also what game or OpenGL program is it?
