Hi,
I have dug up an old placeholder GPU until my MX 580 gets delivered (1 month + waiting time)...
However, the image is very fuzzy / pixlerated. It is not only text, but all graphics. At the moment I have 1280 x 720 resolution, but if I turn it up it gets worse.
I have used the driver which Device manager in win updated to. but am unable to locate any other win 10 drivers.

I'm using driver version 8.970.100.9001

I have not found any clear solution elsewhere on the internet.

Any help would be appreciated !

Windows 10, fully updated.

Component list:
amd ryzen 5 1600 cpu
asus prime b350-plus am4
corsair vengeance lpx 16gb 2x8gb ddr4 3000mhz
wd red 2tb sata 6gb/s 64mb cache interna
samsung c24fg70 23.5"
logitech corded keyboard k280e (pan) oem
Define C Fractal
Asus PCE-AC55BT AC1200
Corsair RM550x 550W ATX 80+ Gold
 
Solution
HD 4000 series is only a DirectX 10 card.

AMD lists driver support up to Windows 8.1, which you are now using.

Windows 10 is listed by AMD as not supported by AMD for that card.

Yes this card is designed for Apple computers, not Windows. Also, it does not support Windows 10
