AMD Driver Recognition Issues

I am having trouble with my AMD Card (HD 7950). I installed the drivers and the Radeon Software Crimson Edition (once the beta and once the stable built as the beta didn't work). Anyhow, the "Radeon settings" Dialogue always gave me the "either your graphicscard is not installed or your AMD driver is not working correctly"-error whenever I tried to launch it.

I am using windows10 with nospy10, a program which I also told to block automated Windows driver updates (so that can't be a possibility) as well as automatic windows updates.

My device Manager recognizes the card as "AMD Radeon HD 9700" Series. According to GPU-Z, the card is running on a PCI-E x16 1.1 lane (old motherboard). Steam however tells me in big-picture mode (which is laggy af, as well as any other even more demanding GPU-software I am running, so the drivers do NOT seem to be working) that I have about 1GB of Graphics Storage, which also doesn't fit the card.

Regardless how often I reboot or uninstall AMD software (yes, even using the proper "wipe-all"-programs) I always get the same error.

Can anybody help me to get this card running properly?
Thanks for your help in advance!

If anyone still stumbles upon this thread; this was not a driver issue. Retard me set the primary graphics adapter to onboard because the GPU only had dvi and I used a VGA monitor. Howether, I got my hands on a passive adapter after trying with my HDMI TV and everything worked like a charm. You can choose your primary graphics adapter in the BIOS BTW.

I can't launch crimson (if you mean the radeon control centre), thats my issue.

I use nospy because I don't trust win10, have you ever heard about inventory collecting and handwriting profiler?
