Trouble with AMD Drivers for Radeon HD 5750 - Battlefield 3

I'm attempting to run Battlefield 3 in Windows 7, but it tells me that my driver is out of date. I get the following error message:


"Detected AMD Radeon driver version 10.4. The recommended driver version is 11.7 or later. Please update your drivers at http://www.amd.com/ before playing the game."


So, first I went to AMD's website and downloaded their Boot Camp Windows 7 driver, but this didn't seem to work. I then uninstalled it and attempted to download the AMD Catalyst 11.12 driver (their latest driver on the PC side for my card). Turns out, this driver won't even install. Looking at the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, it says the version is 8.723.3.0 (strange, since I'm being told by BF3 that the version is 10.4) and that it's from 7/16/2010.


Other information about my computer:

Mid 2010 iMac i7 @ 2.93 GHz

AMD Radeon 5750 1GB VRAM

4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM


So, any idea how I can get this to work? Either by a workaround, or somehow getting my computer to install Catalyst 11.12? I haven't heard back from AMD support, and EA support was absolutely no help (they told me to reinstall the driver four times after I already told them it wasn't working... -_- )


Thanks in advance!

I agree, there is much to be said for a modicum of self-reliance. That being said, I have almost successfully installed the updated Windows 7 x64 AMD/ATI HD 6770M Radeon drivers (beta 12.7) on my MBP 8,2 15" late 2011). The only remaining problem is to get my second monitor, a 19" Viewsonic G90f (that still functions fine) to run at a vertical refresh rate greater than 60 Hz. Display resolution is 1280x1024, 32 bpp. I know the ATI HD6770M will support higher refresh rates because it does so in OSX Lion flawlessly and with very little effort to configure properly at 85 Hz (it figures, that's the Mac side).


The Win7 default for the monitor is "Non PNP generic monitor" and the only refresh rate listed and available is 60 Hz, which is too low, with considerable flicker. I can't get Win7 to let me select the "PNP generic monitor" but i'm guessing that its only refresh rate is 60 Hz as well. I downloaded some x64 drivers from the Viewsonic site, but they appear to be for XP and aren't of much use in Win7. The .inf file doesn't work at all with the "install" selection from the context menu with them.


I'm sort of at wit's end with this. Has anyone else out there gotten Win7 to play nicely with a second monitor, in particular a VGA CRT at adequate vertical refresh rates?


Thanks.

Me too i have some problems with this drivers for 5750.

Yosemite 10.10.5 and W7 PRO 64bit inside bootcamp.

First, the Catalyst Control Center gives me erro anytime i try to activate it.

I have installed the latest drivers for boot camp, AMD says 13.25, but GPU-Z says 12.8.

What is the true ? 13.25 or 12.8 ?

With the AMD tool, it says AMD 5750 and it downloads the latest 15.7.1.

But everytime i try to install i have the error "no AMD product in this computer".

I have already done a lot of time the guide on the first post.

I think the problem is the new drivers, maybe they are too much "new".

I need to find the latest one driver that it works, but i can't find it.

The dropbox link above doesn't work.


I hope that someone can help me with some links for older drivers.


Thank you
