    The AMD GPU in this 5K is a variant, but does not match the PID/VID of the standard W10 AMD drivers. Do the BC drivers work properly, even if they do not support 5K resolution?

    Hi

     

    Many thx for your reply.

    Yes the BC drivers work properly. I have no problem with CAD softwares and some Games ( Battlefield 4 ) even if they are not adapted for 5K.

    The last BC / AMD drivers is dated 4/5/2016 with the revision number 15.301.

    The current version on Windows 10 is 16.30.231 , but I can't update it, as you said and i can't install new software.

    I'm just disappointed to have old graphic driver for a computer with less than one year.

    The 16.x drivers do not have an Apple equivalent yet. I recommend staying with the current BC drivers. There are known stability issues on a Mac using the standard Windows drivers (error code 43 and driver restarts).
