Radeon X1800 driver

Hi...

I need help with my graphics card.
Recently I bought a new PC with Windows 8 and everything works just fine until a message came up that there is a problem with my graphic card. It says that driver is outdated but when I go to a driver scan it's just fine. Also my Graphics card... when I go (windows buttom) + R and type in "dxdiag" it says it is 1275 mb on my card but it seems that there is no X1800 series with 1275 mb. I went online for a sollution and also found out that there is no drivers of such graph. card as mine for Windows 8.
Please help.

1275MB is the total derived from dedicated RAM + shared system RAM.
Download the latest driver from your PC manufacturer's website if it was factory-built.

Download and run GPUZ, AFAIK the X1800 is a very, very old card indeed so you may have been misinformed about what is actually installed in your system.

So... My GPU is actually 256 mb?

AwesomeTokens · Apr 8, 2015

Because my dedicated memory is 512 mb and my shared memory is 766 mb... And I wonder is that better than my old GPU... It was radeon hd 3600 series

That would be about right for a X1800, they came as 256Mb or 512Mb versions.

According to the AMD website the latest drivers for the X1800 are for Vista and you may have to do a manual search for them, the automatic scan/detect may not work for such an old card.

So my older GPU was better?

You don't say what your older card was, there's several HD36xx cards to pick from.
This message you got, was it from AMD? Or was it from a company that provided a nice, helpful link to a system scanner?
Apart from the message, is the system running properly or has the scan messed it up?

AwesomeTokens · Apr 8, 2015

I remember having it on Win XP and it had of total 512 mb of memory
Well the scanner only scanned if I need to update drivers but yeah... i couldn't find drivers for my GPU to be also on Windows 8

I was about to use it mostly for gaming... So which one would you prefer then?

coozie7 · Apr 8, 2015

What games? And what are the specs of the entire system?
Both the HD36xx and X1800 are very old cards with limited memory, and even more limited performance, they will not be able to play any modern game, falling well below the minimum hardware requirements of all of them.
