Mac Pro Late 2013 AMD FirePro D700 D300 D500 Windows 10 Boot Camp Driver

I've successfully upgraded to Windows 10, and I'm currently using what you could called "modded" AMD drivers. I have used them fore a while, after I grew tired of no updates, and learned about the method on some forums. Right now I have installed the AMD Catalyst 15.7.1 update, and it runs just fine. Have used modded drivers for some months, and haven't encountered any issues (once I got a successfull install).

I have a Mac Pro (2013) with the D700s.

The process, which actually is quite easy:
1. Download the latest driver (at the moment of writing 15.7.1), the AMD Omega 14.12 driver, and the official December Bootcamp Driver 14.301.

2. Make a new folder called "modded driver", which purpose explains itself.

3. Copy everytning from the latest driver to "modded driver".

4. Copy everything from the Bin64 folder of the Omega driver and overwrite everyting in the Bin64 folder of "modded driver".

5. Copy "InstallManagerApp.exe" and "InstallManager.dll" from the Bin64 folder of the December Bootcamp driver, and overwrite the corresponding files in the Bin64 folder of "modded drivers".

6. Now you are ready to install the driver. Just run "setup.exe" in the root folder of "modded drivers"

Now you should have new and better performing drivers installed, working perfectly with Windows 10.

If you have problems with the Catalyst software, which I had on the latest driver updates in Windows 8.1 (but not anymore on Windows 10), do the same process with an earlier version of the driver (15.5 worked for me), run the setup, and chose custom installation. Here you only chose to install Catalyst. Now Catalyst should work properly too.

Also, if you encounter any more problems using this method, you should uninstall the driver using "Display Driver Uninstaller", and probably delete everything AMD related in the registry (CMD+R, regedit).

Hope it works for you too! 🙂 That being said, I'm really disappointed in the Bootcamp support, and the driver updates. I'm actually thinking about selling my Mac Pro, and building a pure Windows desktop, and no more AMD!!! I'm doing a lot of video editing in Premiere Pro CC, and have the experience have disappointed med, compared to how much money I put in it. No way I want to switch to FinalCut X (testet it with the trial). Also I game a lot, and that's not great in either OSX or Windows/Bootcamp, especially on new games that require driver updates with new profiles. I can play Borderlands 2 in 4K, but almost can't play The Witcher 3 in 1080p, even with the latest (modded) drivers.

Btw. don't blame me if you brick your GPU (which I don't think it's likely to happen, but I just have to say it).

nice to hear it I have imac 2011 with some amd gpu and had unstable problems with win8 with win7 bootcamp driver and later problems with win8.1 with win8 drivers

hope that the bootcamp drivers for win10 will have drivers at all for my amd gpu as nvidia and much newer amd gpu's are used in macs new enough to likely official support win10 in bootcamp

The unwillingness of both Apple and AMD to provide up-to-date bootcamp video drivers, is totally unprofessional. It is a slap in the face to every customer that uses bootcamp. For this sector of customer base I believe it is damaging to their brand. To be the only customer of which AMD's website says "This driver is not intended for use on AMD products running in Apple Boot Camp platforms." And to have Apple standing by doing NOTHING to pass on updates to their customer base is appalling. And it isn't like a driver update is a huge technical feat. The code base is being maintained for every other AMD chipset out there. People are able to hack it to get it to work. For Apple to provide a stable driver is maddeningly trivial, which makes it clear that denying it is likely the internal policy of some jerk manager(s) that want to kick in the nards anybody that dares to seriously use Windows on Apple hardware.

A comparison, Apple has fired missiles at the Android community because their phones are notorious for getting no updates pushed from the manufacturers. Well, Apple is acting from the same playbook. When it comes time to get a new workstation, am I going to get an Apple again? NOOOOO! Will I buy anything with an AMD card? NOOOOO! Your brand is mud. Can you, Apple and AMD, fix this? Yes, just provide driver updates for the video chipset in my $10K computer! It is insulting that I have to beg for you to do this. But ultimately, the future will be a vote with the wallet. You will have no body to blame but yourself for lackluster sales. Is it due to product design? No. Is it due to lost 'halo' effect? No. Is it due to atrocious customer support? Absolutely yes.

Running the latest version of Windows 10.Well, that did not work for me. May be because my card is D500 and not D900.

I managed to install the driver (15.7.1) but for Windows 7 64bit. It worked OK in the first few minutes and then started having linear sparks on both my monitors whenever there is movement on the screens.

I followed this post http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/nmp-d300-d500-d700-do-not-work-in-windows-10 .1904313/#post-21652551

So far the best solution for D500 cards, but it is not 100%.

I also prefer NVIDIA cards for many reasons, but we are stuck with the AMD ones. They are not horrible, but I would not get them if I have a choice.

Let's hope AMD/Apple will release an updates driver for Mac Pro Late 2013 soon.

Guys, I have a 6970M in my 2011 iMac, and I tried your workaround to get the 15.7 drivers working as per Cliffback's post with the 'modded driver' folder process.

It seemed to work OK, as the installation seemed to complete, but on reboot, it still seems like I have the 14.301 drivers.

Any suggestions?

As you can see from my post just above yours, this is not true for pre-2012 Macs!

I am still trying to get the latest AMD drivers to install on my 2011 iMac. The AMD auto-detect finds the hardware OK, and downloads the drivers, but when it tries to install them, the usual 'cannot find suitable hardware' type message comes up!

Hi RodrigoPoloDOTcom,

Apples Boot Camp drivers are rarely updated and AMD also updates the Windows drivers for Apple devices in the same manner. Therefore you won't get current drivers for your graphics card from those companies.

Regarding the Mac Pro (Late 2013) with it's D300s, D500s or even D700s there is a modded driver available here: https://www.media-xtreme.net/modded-amd-radeon-crimson-16-2-1-for-mac-pro-availa ble/

This driver works with my D700s flawlessly. The only thing you need to do is switch your Windows into Testsigning Mode otherwise you cannot install the driver because the driver is not signed currently.

the following solved my issue

I just uploaded all my working modded drivers to this folder, if anyone wanna download: https://mega.nz/#F!rE8T0BCT!e98m7Ww6mat3LedjR0aGJw

Sadly, this is no help to those of us on pre-2012 Macs!

Does anyone have any ideas about my post 2 above? It must be possible to do the workaround process for the 6970M.

Thankfully, with Windows 10 and the release of bootcamp 6, the AMD drivers have been updated. I hope that there will be continued updates for some time to come, and not years between driver updates.
