hi, i have a lenovo laptop g570 with windows 8 CP installed

he has integrated intel video card and discrete radeon 63xx

 

 

so, let me show you my problem on screenshots

 

and after launching catalyst he's show me this message

 

Laptop = laptop manufacturer for driver support .. read driver release notes and AMD's webpage about Catalyst Mobility support drivers ..

-------------------------
AM3 965BE C3 / 4GB Corsair XMS3 2000Mhz / GigaByte 990FXA-UD5 / Corsair H70 & 2 CM Excaliburs / x2 HD3870 ATOMIC Edition / Corsair 90GB Force 3 SSD / Momentus XT 250Gb Hybrid HDD / x3 Samsung F3 1Tb / Sony AD-7700 DVD-RW / Auzen X-Mystique / Enermax INFINITI 650W / Lian Li PC-7FNWB / Logitech X-530 / Logitech Kboard & MX620 Laser Mouse / Epson RX685 / DELL U2312HM 23" IPS TFT / MY RIG HERE

so, mobile drivers for windows 8 not existing yet? 

 

I'm not the one with the laptop mate, you'll have to visit your laptop manufacturer's website and also read the AMD pages for W8 drivers etc ..

If you read the AMD Catalyst Mobility release notes, you'll see what laptops aren't supported .. those with switchable Intel Graphics being one such set of machines ..

You need to go to Lenovo's tech support and ask them about it all .. it's their machine, they should be providing drivers and driver support for it .. and they'll be able to tell you if that machine is 100% W8 compatible too etc ..

I guess the laptop forum was too hard to find?

Quote " If you experience difficulty while using the generic AMD Catalyst Mobility drivers, we recommend reverting to the driver provided by your notebook vendor. Please contact your notebook vendor for their most recent graphics drivers.

Actually not even Win8 exist yet except for a CP version

GA 990FXA-UD3
AMD X6 1090T
Kingston 8GB 1600 HyperX
GPU Gigabyte R685OC-1GD
2x SATA3 WD Blue 1TB
Corsair 620W
Win7x64

im guessing some do because i tried windows 8 on my hp pavillion dv6446us laptop and it downloaded drivers for my laptop's intel 945gm onboard graphics chip.

-------------------------

I'm not a noob!!:frown;

try AMD's Win 8 Preview Catalyst package.

a lot of harware still runs on same drivers it did with Win7 so some things are fine and will update as usual. but graphics drivers are not one of them.

using Win8 Consumer Preview drivers from AMD but when I try running AMD VISION Engine Control Center I just get: "AMD VISION Engine Control Center cannot be started. There are currently no settings that can be configured using AMD VISION..."

so they may not help you anyway.

In my case I tried installing the 12.8 release for my 6900 but all the metro apps slow down to a crawl with no sound. Uninstalled and using the standard MS drivers and it all works fine.
