I attempted to upgrade from a 6770 to a 7950, both XFX brand.
I already had the latest non beta driver installed, but after I physically installed the 7950 I reinstalled the driver anyway. 13-4_vista_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql.exe
I then went to play one of my usual games but did not experience any performance gain at all.
I attempted to uninstall my drivers catalyst etc, even used Driver Fusion to remove any lingering dlls, rebooted etc.
Reinstalled drivers and when I attempt to change resolution, under advanced properties, it just showed Microsoft Basic Display Driver.
And when I open CCC, there isn't any display options... as if a card is not installed. From here I try to download and install the latest beta drivers (AMD_Catalyst_13.5_CAP1.05212013.exe) but same thing.
WTF right? So thinking maybe the card was just DOA.
I took out the new card and reinstalled my old one and I'm getting the same issue. It's like the driver never installed.
Super frustrated here, any tips much appreciated. I already RMA'd the card (from amazon). But if I can get it to work and actually notice performance gains, via bench mark and in game fps etc I'd like to keep it.
Thanks in advance!
