Hi, just updated my graphics drivers from amd website 12.4 rivision number, looked in device manager and it shows driver version 8.0, is this correct because when i start a game it tells me to update drivers, showing me that i have 11.4 and need to be at least 11.7. thanks

Hi, not sure what you mean, this is the first time i have installed drivers on this card, i bought the card about a year ago and this is the first driver update i have done. thanks.

Yeah, it's normal. The 12.4 is for the whole catalyst package and the drivers have their own specific version number as well.

8.0 doesn't sound right for the overall driver version though though, I currently have the 11.9 Catalyst package installed and the "Driver Packaging Version" for that is 8.961, although the 2D driver is 8.01 so maybe you're looking at that line?

Silly question maybe, but did you run the Catalyst installer after you'd downloaded it from the AMD website?

Surely you had drivers installed prior to this update?
I'd download driver sweeper, uninstall CCC and run driver sweepe
Restart then run the new driver installer

Hi, yes i ran the driver package after download, i just followed the on screen prompts. The driver version is 8.961 not 8.0. Thanks

Hi, yes i had drivers installed, i just downloaded the newer version and ran it, i did not uninstall the old ones, should i have done this first ?, i thought it would overwrite the old ones. Thanks.

I had the same problem the other day.
As above, uninstall the old catalyst control panel and drivers. Use driver sweeper, restart and install the new drivers
