Installing Latest APU Drivers A10-5800K

[brandonbk]

How can I install the latest drivers for AMD APU A10-5800K? In device manager, it shows up as Microsoft, 4/21/2009. When I manually input the APU in the AMD website, it gives me the catalyst driver, but only updates my graphics card (AMD Radeon HD 5450).

The drivers are part of the MB system. Do you have a MB driver/utility disk? It comes with the new MB. If you don't, let me know the make/model of the board.

Wow, I have the exact same CPU and graphics card.

Don't use that graphics card. It is weaker than the integrated graphics in the APU. Hook up your DVI or VGA cable into the motherboard output instead and toss the HD 5450.

Yes, I have the disk. The motherboard is an MSI A55M-E35. I did try to install the chipset from the disk, but nothing changed it.

I would use the integrated graphics, but I'd rather not waste memory and have a separate GPU with dedicated memory. And I had already installed that version of the catalyst driver but my APU keeps at the 2009 Microsoft version

I don't understand the question. What is it you think isn't correct?

Unless there is no mistake, I don't think the latest driver would be in 2009 provided by Microsoft. Hence, it's probably the latest driver that Microsoft provides from windows update since I just upgraded to Windows 8, but not the latest driver that AMD provides. Unless I'm wrong, I'm trying to find a way to get the latest driver for the APU.

Try clicking "Update Driver Software" in Device manager. Windows should then search the web. Tell me what happens then.

That was the first thing I did, but it tells me that my driver is up-to-date. But, sometimes, it actually isn't updated.

Click "Install Driver from File" or whatever, and select the cataylst drivers you installed, from C:\Program Files\ATI\CIM\Bin64

Go to AMD's web site and install AMD Overdrive. And if you have 8 gigabytes or more of ram you are crazy not to use the APU which is lotys better than that old 5450.

Tried it, still didn't update.

Isn't Overdrive already in the Catalyst Control Center? How would that help me update my APU?

No, Overdrive is a separate app. While many of the things you can do in Overdrive are in the Catalyst app, it is different and has a lot more features.

If you right click on the desktop, on the drop down menu is there "AMD Catalyst Control Center?"

Ah I see. Yes, there is AMD Catalyst Control Center. I just downloaded AMD Overdrive too

It looks like your drivers are working fine.

How is game performance?

Hmm, not exactly sure if it's my drivers fault, but when I use my graphics tablet on my pc, the cursor shakes wildly. When I move the pen away from the tablet, the cursor shakes even more compared to when the pen is really close. Other than that, BF3 plays alright. It's a little bit choppy on low settings with low resolution

Yeah, if it's playing BF3 at all, the driver is working alright. The Windows fallback driver can barely handle moving a Chrome window around at 1 FPS.

That's your tablet, not the graphics. That is what all mice or input devices do when the signal is being blocked. Try putting your mouse on glass or something reflective, it does the same thing.

Does that mean it's fully updated? Because before (in device manager), it said I had Driver Version 6.2.9200.16451, 4/21/2009. But now, it's 6.1.7600.16385, 6/21/2006. And for the tablet, it was working perfectly before I upgraded my computer(new ram, processor, mobo, etc.). But now, for some reason, this jitter happens. When it was the 2009 version, I had windows 8. Now I have windows 7. The tablet is a Huion 680S

That is curious. Is this your tablet driver? Go here: http://huion-tablet.com/download/

Yes it is. I tried both the old driver and the "Beta New Driver"

I think the tablet it probably just crap. Buy a Wacom tablet.

As for your video drivers, if gaming performance is good and Catalyst shows up when you right click the desktop, I think the drivers are working just fine.

Actually, I tried the tablet on another computer and it was working perfectly. No jitter at all

I have no idea. Try different drivers, try unplugging your mouse, clean it, just do everything until you have some interesting results and tell me.

Well, I can't really tell you much, considering I've done all that. The only thing interesting was what I told you: I tried it on a different computer and it worked fine.
