Q: Driver MacBook Pro Retina - Driver constraint! - AMD M370X

I paid 3500 germen € for a Macbook Pro Retina 15 with enterprise settings.

And of course, if somebody feels a need for this kind of highend computer. Then usally he also knows how to use it. So I know like many people how to use bootcamp and Windows. And of course if people want to get everything out of their peace of hardware then they have to install Windows. I know you don't like this to hear but since you use the same architecture, it is possible. And People realy need it and want it.. As specially for Games.. And it is realy a shame that you as a MULTI BILLION COMPANY which is even now that richest company on earth.. ON EARTH.. are not able to ship the latest uptodate DRIVERS of your sold hardware. Shame on you ! And don't say it is AMDs fault... there are better  and newer drivers! - Here, some guy even proofed it and explains how to workaround your, how i think deliberately fault - goo.gl/TZohnp

I want a way to install the drivers from the offcial AMD page... why is this mac on a blacklist?

It seems to me that you obviously deliberately want to sabotage the expericene of Windows.. but you are wrong you are sobotagting your self this makes many people angry. I use even trackpad++ as 3rd party driver which waaay better than the BC one and more simular to tha trackpad experice on macOS..

 

I think this is even illigal maybe i will use a lawyer in long term to get this roll.

But for know I apeal on all people who have the same issue to write here your frustration. And to inspire the most inovativ multi billion company to hold their drivers uptodate, realy shame on you even any chines low budeget copycat producer accomplish to hold their drivers up to date.


I even belive this fault at least with the GPU could solved in one hour or few minutes from AMDs side, if you wouldn't hold them up..

    Please post your feedback on https://www.apple.com/feedback/ . ASC will not be able help you in such feedback.

     

    You may also want to consider buying a high-end PC from Sony, Toshiba, Dell, HP, Asus, Lenovo, etc., instead of a 3500€ Mac which does not address your needs.

    Do you understand and comprehend what is written below? It is from the link you posted.

     

     

    A Few Words of Warning

    Obviously this is procedure is completely unsupported by Apple or AMD. While I do not think this procedure should cause any significant problems for your Windows installation or your Mac, installing this unsupported driver is completely at your own risk. If your Windows operating system crashes or your Mac blows up, it’s all on you. Apple or AMD will be of no help and will likely admonish you for trying something you read on the Internet. Additionally, I’ve only tested this on Windows 10 64-bit. In theory the core of this procedure should also work for Windows 8.1, but I’ve not tested that and will likely not ever test it myself. So far in testing my Boot Camp installation and Rainbow Six Siege for a few hours, almost everything seems fine. The only issue I’ve uncovered is that the screen brightness controls don’t work. There may be some other glitches lurking, but I’ve not suffered them yet. However, for me this is an acceptable trade-off, as I pretty much only use Boot Camp to do various Windows testing and play Windows games. However, if you are not going to play Rainbow Six Siege and you otherwise have no issues with your current Boot Camp installation, I would not advise following this procedure. Just be patient and wait for the next official Boot Camp graphic driver release.

     

    It is very poor judgement from you, spending your money, without proper research, or lack of understanding of a software development cycle. If you want a feature which company X does not provide, buy a different product from company Y.

     

    You are posting on a user-to-user forum, and asking for help, and you want

     

    " I would want an answer from the head leader of the hardware section of Apple. And also an Answer from AMD."


    The proper method is to call Technical Support of the respective companies, and create a trackable software request.

     

    Try suing Volkswagen and asking them to put BMW's iDrive technology in a VW Golf.
