So I was reading the list of compatible GPUs for these new drivers, and HD 5000 series cards aren't on the list. I happen to have a HD 5750. That's why I was asking is it still possible to install the drivers and if they'll work or not?

That card will not work with crimson, you'll have to use older drivers. That video card is so old you'd probably do just as good on integrated graphics.

And as stated before If the have a 5750 there is VERY little chance they have a High-end Skylake CPU. Which is what the 530 is... so what's your point?

HD7700 and higher for Crimson recommended.

*Lower is listed in the BETA release, however you don't want to stay with the Beta drivers indefinitely as they have known issues. I really don't know what the point was of allowing Beta support then dropping them.

More specifically:
"As a courtesy to our valued supporters we are providing a final “As Is” Beta driver together with the release of the AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition."

So I guess you can take your chances and if you have issues then I'd:
a) do clean uninstall with DDU
b) install non-Crimson drivers

USE doesn't equal support. Those are beta drivers and that's all he'll ever be able to use. No point in using broken drivers to prove a half point.

Well, I'm not sure if it's visible but I have my specs shown on my profile. I don't think I have that old rig, I built it like 1 year ago. The CPU is AMD FX-4300. The reason why I use so old GPU is whole another topic, but I'll say my PC would keep crashing when playing while using my R7 250X. Anyways, thanks for all the answers though, I think I'll stick with the older drivers.

You wouldn't really notice much difference with the new drivers anyways. The performance increases only affect GCN based video cards. The pretty interface is not worth stability.

It's something but it's still a beta.
