[SOLVED] What driver for RX 5600 OEM graphics card?

[1405]

I don't find the RX 5600 OEM listed on AMD's driver search page. What should driver I choose to download?

Maybe try this;

installing in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Adminsitrator.

Curious though, got a link to the card you own?

Just download and install the one for RX 5600 XT. It's the same card as that but cut down to 2048 shaders.

The driver itself says it is compatible with the following AMD Radeon products:

Radeon™ RX 5700/5600/5500/5300 Series Graphics

In truth, if you are concerned you can probably check optional updates within Windows Update and use the Microsoft signed one that should show up there, if not already installed. With a card of that age I wouldn't consider any issue should arise out of it.

Thank you all. Good advice.

I've got a suspicion that all the RX 5xxx drivers are the same universal file. During running of the exe file the installation pgm. sorts out what card it's providing for. And that probably applies for each generation of cards both AMD and Nvidia. No?

That's exactly how it works, driver file you download is compound file that contains specifics about your GPU and installs drivers specific to your card according to it's Vendor ID. plus all control programs that are not specific.
to find which exact version is installed, look in Device Manager under Display adapters. If your CPU has an active IGPU, it will be listed there too.

Oh yes, those large driver packages may include hundreds of files but the only ones used are the ones called for in the matching HW_ID line of the .inf file. Used to be before driver signing it was common to edit this line to install drivers that were close enough.

Typically, OEM hardware is sold without the usual warranty (the OEM self-insures in exchange for a lower price) or driver support beyond what is initially supplied, so it's up to the OEM to test later drivers and verify they work properly before posting them up on their own website. But AMD has been very good about including HW_ID for OEM products in drivers for all of their non-mobile stuff so usually their standard driver just installs fine.

Mobile was sometimes a little different because before every CPU had an IGP and the GPU actually used that IGP to render the final output, there were all sorts of proprietary ways to switch between the IGP and GPU to save power, and often the OEM had to modify the driver package to make that work. If you only had an IGP or a GPU in your mobile device then this was not a problem and usually the standard drivers work fine.
