Can't install new amd display drivers on hd 7870

[Dave_77]

Hi,
So yesterday I got no mans sky, and it won't work(what a surprise!!!). I know what this is - I have opengl 1.1 not 4.5, so I set about getting it and first decided to update my graphics card - hd 7870 - drivers. So I installed the crimson downloader from AMD and updated, and it updated everything except the display drivers giving no reason for doing so, even after I uninstalled and reinstalled, so if anyone knows what the problem is and what I should do to rectify it, or even if there is a quicker way to get opengl 4.5 I would be very thankful to hear it!

Clean uninstall your current gpu drivers by going into control panel > programs and features > uninstall a program. Uninstall AMD INSTALL MANAGER.

After this is completed restart your computer.

It will be low resolution till you change it.

Upon boot from restart, go to the amd website, click drivers and support, click drivers.

Don't let it find it automatically, click manual, go to the radeon hd 7000 series, or something close to that. Now click your exact card.

Download the driver install it gives you. This will be the exact and correct driver you need.

Do not download the beta driver, betas are very glitchy, have alot of bugs, and can crash frequently and cause a ton of issues.
