GPU Driver Mystery for ASUS Radeon HD7770

Silibant · Mar 13, 2014

I have an ASUS Radeon HD7770 2GB GDDR5, and it's been acting like a heaping pile of melted silicon for a while now. Between "display driver AMD driver stopped responding" to the outright damnable performance I get in games, I highly suspect it's some sort of driver issue, but I can only find one AMD Catalyst Control Center copy for this thing. ASUS doesn't list any other driver for it. That's the facts. I'm running Windows 8.1 64 bit if that's any help.

You should be getting the drivers direct from AMD: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/amd_catalyst_14.2_beta1.3.exe

Someone Somewhere :

Thanks, I'll give 'em a shot but I already thought I had that installed. Should I uninstall other drivers 1st?

Someone Somewhere · Mar 14, 2014

It should upgrade fine, but you might want to tick the box during installation marked something like 'remove previous settings'.

Someone Somewhere :

Thanks. When I clicked the link, it gave me some message about having to get to the page from AMD's website/that an "external link" isn't available. I filled in the dropdown menus for my GPU, and it took me to the page.

Just to be safe, I'm using the driver link you provided to first uninstall, then re-install, a fresh copy of the drivers. Will post an update soon.

UPDATE! I have just installed the new drivers, and I think I may have everything set. This post will be edited after the gaming tests. EDIT 1: I experienced a driver crash almost immediately, no gaming required. Now my mouse is acting strange as well (cursor moving, but hovering over things provides no response, left click not working), but there's no drivers for it so I'm screwed there. I just hope it'll resolve itself.

If you're talking about moving from the US to UK site, the forum is mirrored between them. That's this thread.

Damn, I hate people who check HTTP Referers. It's a pain in the neck.

Unfortunately, you might end up needing to reinstall Windows.

Someone Somewhere :

Sorry, wrong post on the redirect thread. Meant to put it on the other thread on this damn card. Re-install windows? How? I've never done it before, and I only have 1 copy..

Thinking about RMA'ing for a GTX 750 Ti? Thoughts?

Someone Somewhere · Mar 15, 2014

Back up all your stuff, grab the Windows disk, boot off it. Then format the drive and select it.

You could do that - it's certainly a faster card. If it's a problem in Windows, it may or may not fix it, though.

Someone Somewhere :

Thanks for the info. The reason I made my decision about the card was because in the Newegg reviews, everyone had been talking about this card BSOD'ing, as well as the fact that there's few card-specific drivers for it. These in combination led me to believe that I was dealing with a shitty card. However, here's my plan: RMA card, get new one, plug new one in, re-install windows, start over. Sounds good, or am I missing something?

Someone Somewhere · Mar 16, 2014

Should be fine.

Someone Somewhere :

Sweet. Just got off the phone with an ASUS RMA guy, should be able to return it today! Nvidia, here I come!

If you're in the UK, what price are you paying for the 750Ti? And what model is it?

Silibant · Mar 16, 2014

cst1992 :

Sadly, I'm not in the UK. I order from TigerDirect, and on their site the 750 Ti (EVGA, 2GB GDDR5) is $154. The standard model is $120.
