Updating AMD driver on Acer laptop

[RevKev5]

Hello, I have a Acer Aspire 4820TG laptop with AMD HD 5650 card in it. I would like to update the driver for it. Can anyone provide me with a step by step instruction on how to do this? Thanks!

It's the mobile version of the 5650 i assume?

windows 7 32 bit

go there, download and follow instructions.

Don't worry if your not sure about something, it won't let u install the wrong thing. If any thing does go wrong or the drivers don't function properly after, you'll have to driver sweep, but it usually doesn't matter.

I would check the ACER website first. Some Laptops won't work with the generic drivers for graphics cards.

AMD.com

you also can get a driver from there too.

I'd still get the amd ones though, they're alot newer. If they don't work then i'd try acer ones.
