iMac 5K with AMD Radeon R9 295X and Windows 10

Hi,

I've tried installing Windows 10 using Boot Camp. Everything ran smoothly up until finding the driver for the graphic card "AMD Radeon R9 295X". Using the drivers downloaded through boot camp doesn't work. So I reinstalled the operating system back to Windows 8.1 and could use the old driver again.

Then Yesterday I saw AMD was releasing the driver for Windows 10, and I am curious to hear if any of you have had tried the same or experiencing the new driver from AMD. Though it is not always the case that Windows can detect the hardware, so installing Windows 10 again to find out it cannot detect the hardware would be a little bit waste of time if you have the answer.

So what is your angel to this?

Best Regards,

Mathias

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

I have the same problem.

I installed Windows 10 and all bot camp drivers are run without the graphic driver for my AMD 295X.

The Link to the AMD page is not helpful, because when I start the installation, the program NOT found an equipment to install the right driver.

When I am search on the AMD Site for an good driver via Apple Boot camp driver then I found an old incompatible driver.

Have Apple an compatible driver for my graphic in my IMac late 2014 AMD 295X ?

Windows 10 is not officially supported yet. Apple has yet to release actual Bootcamp drivers for Windows 10.

Until they do, you will have to make do with the Windows 8,1 drivers, and if something does not work, then the only thing to do is wait until official drivers are released that make it work.
