Hey guys.

So i got my new PC today, built it up and tried it out, everything worked fine. However, as soon as i downloaded the newest driver for the R9 Series and tried to run it, it told my that i do not have the hardware required to run this programm. So i guess my R9 280x is not recognized as what it actually is.
To give you guys some Specs:
I am running on Win7 64bit.
Motherboard : ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0
RAM : GEIL 16GB DDR3-1600
HDD : Nothing special, 2TB from Seagate.
PSU : BeQuiet PowerZone 1000W
GPU : Asus3GB D5 X R9280X-DC2 R
CPU : AMD FX-8350
CPU-Cooling : BeQuiet Dark Rock 2

So, i havent tried running any games yet, i will later, but still, not being able to update your driver sucks. Also, i tried this auto detect thingy that AMD offers, but that one thinks of my R9 280x as a HD 7XXX Series. To be fair, they are similar in some ways, but still.
Any help would be appreciated.
Oh yeah, and i also tried update the BIOS to the newest version, which did not help resolving this issue.

Thanks!

Edit : Well playing games is hardly fluid, as figured. Without a "real" driver.

Yeah, there is something buggy around the drivers these days. May try to download it again or go with an older version. Or the thing alw working, just wait until its fixed.

Well, i think i just found the solution myself, i think i accidentally downloaded the mobility driver, because it said 64x in the name, and i kinda figured that i might have downloaded a notebook driver, but i didnt get deeper into it. Thanks anyway. (megagigafacepalm)
