Retina 5K - AMD Boot Camp Driver failure

is the res locked at 1920x1080 i got the driver to work however i cant get resolution any higher ?

how did you get it to work? I have the R9 M290X with code 43 and every time I point it to the folder it says the best driver software for your device is already installed C:\AMD\AMD-Catalyst-15.6-Beta-Software-Suite-Win8.1-64Bit-June22\Packages\Drive rs that's where I pointing it to, but I don't know what else to do, since it is not being able to install the other software.

1. Right-Click "update driver software"

2. Browse my computer for driver software

3. Click the "Let me pick from a list of... "

4. Click "Have Disk"

5. Browse to the INF file (C:\AMD\AMD-Catalyst-15.6-Beta-Software-Suite-Win8.1-64Bit-June22\Packages\Driv ers\Display\WB6A_INF)

6. Boom!

Okay so it installs the Radeon r9 200 series driver but then it just continually crashes and reboots the machine. This did not work for me at this point. Waiting patiently :/

Yes it does.

Strange -- mine has been running fine since I installed it. Yes, it's a beta. Yes, it seems like the screen activates really slow (after power save and such). But no problems, no reboots and no glitches so far.

F**k yeah - this resolved it for me!

Strange, because the Beta Drivers are older than the official Windows 10 Catalyst drivers.

But when I double clicked the .inf-file from that beta package, I got the AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series driver installed without errors.

Now my games work, too.

Just don't get it - since my 2015 Retina iMac's graphic chip is actually called Radeon R9 M290.

Guys i did this and yes it works however the res is 1920x1080 correct ? it does not let you do 5k option.

Windows 10s native AMD driver that gives you the yellow exclamation displays better but doesn't play games...

Anyone cracked this yet...

Didn't you read what we just wrote? It is solved already!

Of course i read it, I'm asking you a question

I did the same as you on a 5k 295 and it worked as in the yellow device manager error went, However i could not choose a proper 5k Res, only 1920x1080 no more options

so can you answer

1. Can you get the native 5k res back with what yoiuve done above

2. Do games now run with a decent framerate...

I did it as i said but reverted back as 1920x1080 isn't where i need to be .

thanks

I'm presuming as your the 29- card the 295 may work different and req a differing driver

1. Yes, I get full retina resolution

2. Yes, Heroes of the Storm runs like it did with Windows 8.1 Pro.

So for me, this is clearly solved,

although it looks weird that my R9 290M is installed as HD 7800 Series. But anyways then...

And it's weird that the beta software package from AMD contains a suitable driver, although it's older than the official release package (version 15.6 beta vs. 15.7 release)

Must be the cards architecture then... I didn't actually test any games but as the res was locked to 1920 i didn't want to try.

I,ll have another crack in a mo

I'm running Windows 10 and my display adapter is a r9 290.

I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly:

I uninstalled the defective driver,

I expanded the ones I downloaded from the AMD site (AMD-Catalyst-15.8Beta-64Bit-Win10-Win8.1-Win7-Aug23),

I right click on the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter and choose Update Driver

I click on Browse my Computer for driver software

I click on Let me pick from a list...

After clicking on Have Disk, I browse to the WT6A_INF folder where I have 3 inf files

When I select one of them I choose the AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series driver (I also chose the HD 7800M one)

After clicking OK I get the error here attached that is saying I'm installing a driver that does not support Windows 10

Can anyone help me?

Thank you in advance

GO dload latest boot camp drivers version 6 or just get rid of your boot camp and start again, Apple release the updates end of August, so if you run it through the proper boot camp and tick get drivers it'll just work. Mines fine...

Hi ccc1325, I have your problem, I think that it is only a bug in the R9 290 Amd video card, because some people have this problem solved for 295X, 290X and 310 video cards.

We have R9 290 and we have the problem. I tested a lot of possible solutions with not good results with my R9 290, always the same code 43 error. I tried a lot of times the zyne's solution and it is not working. I used the bootcamp version 6 releases by Apple on August, then September and the problem is still there. So I think that right now we have this issue ONLY in the AMD Radeon R9 290 video card. And without catalyst and 3d acceleration is impossible to play games via bootcamp.

Please check this discussion:

AMD RADEON R9 M290 (not 295, 295x or 290x) driver problem on windows 10

Maybe this is your problem. So we need to find a solution, we need to do something to solve this... people that want to help us, please help. Can you test with the last drivers and see your results?. Let me know...

When the people are saying that it works: are the meaning that the maximum resolution they're achieving is 3280x2120?? I hope to reach the real 5k resolution instead. (on windows)

Alex, I've just installed windows 10 on a boot camp partition with boot camp driver 6 and it worked at first attempt (but 3280x2110 max), even I tried to use the beta drivers and I can confirm that it only works with 15.6 version and the graphics card will be related as 7800 instead a r290. I've never seen a 43 error code.

My imac is a mid 2015 retina with r290 (not 290x).
