Q: iMac Retina Radeon R9 295X Windows 10 video driver - Working

Hi,

 

I managed to get the R295 working by updating the display driver in device manager and pointing it to the AMD-Catalyst-15.6-Beta-Software-Suite-Win8.1-64Bit-June22 driver inf files. The AMD windows 10 drivers don't work at all

 

Hopes this helps someone as a temporary fix until the proper drivers appear

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

    Alex, give this a shot.  Uninstall the video card in the device manager and then install the beta driver normally.  I do no think this will make the driver work, but I do think it will get the Catalyst control center installed at least.  Then try the instructions above.

     

    If this works let me know and I can make an addendum to my instructions for others.

    Thank you camberry1 for your support. But I tried uninstalling the driver from device manager and instilling the beta driver and it is not working. Same error code 43... Also Catalyst cannot start.

    Maybe do you have other idea?, maybe it is a problem only with Radeon R9 M290? what do you think?

    I started over and installed El Capitan OSX and then boot-camped with the built-in installer (ver6).  I installed windows 10 with the insiders program (build 10240).

     

    Everything now works great, and the video card in the iMac 5k (mine is an m295X) works fine now.

     

    My spec's:

    iMac 5k

    i7 4790

    32Gig RAM

    256SSD

    Radeon R9 m295X

    And now I've just updated to the 15.201 drivers, direct from AMD, and Catalyst Control Center no longer works. It reports "AMD Catalyst Control Center cannot be started. There are currently no settings that can be configured using AMD Catalyst Control Center." So I would not advise updating unless you won't miss CCC.
