I recently bought Sapphire's Radeon R9-270 2Gb to replace my old Radeon HD 6570. I installed it into my desktop and I got the following message. "No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning properly. Please install the AMD driver appropriate for your amd hardware" So far, I reinstalled Catalyst Control Center with the drivers. Didn't work. I then used Display Driver Uninstaller to remove all traces of drivers from my system. Then reinstalled the drivers but the same problem persist. I don't know what else to do, did I get a bad card or is there something else I can try?

I'm currently Running Windows Vista
AMD Phenom II X4 925
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 335MHz
ASUSTeK Computer INC. M3A78-CM (AM2)
630 watt PSU

new amd cards dont like vista, found that out when i tried upgrading my brother vista machine with a 270. you have to install the driver package, reboot, and then go into device manager, and force the driver. (click update driver, point to the location of the driver files, and pick radeon 200 series from the list given)

Nope. That causes the system not to boot up at all. Have to select load last configuration. I think I may have just got a dud vid card. But it works but only using the Standard VGA Graphics Adaptor.
