Overview

AMD graphics drivers are regularly updated to provide bugs fixes and performance optimizations for games and applications.

For most users, graphics drivers only need to be updated in the following situations:

  • Support for a newly installed graphics product, operating system, games or applications.
  • Access new features and/or performance improvements.
  • Resolve driver conflicts and/or known bugs.

It is recommended to review the driver release notes since they contain a list of bug fixes, game optimizations and support for new AMD products. 

The next sections of this article will guide you through locating the latest compatible graphics driver using the AMD Auto-detect tool and AMD Product Selector, which are available on the AMD Drivers & Software page.

AMD Auto-Detect Tool

The AMD Auto-detect and Install tool uses AMD Software Installer to check your PC for compatible AMD Radeon™ Series Graphics, AMD Ryzen™ Chipsets, and Windows® version and downloads the latest supporting AMD drivers for you to install directly on your PC.

This tool is designed for systems running:

  • Windows® 11 version 21H2 and later
  • Windows® 10 64-bit version 1809 and later

For instructions on how to use this tool, refer to Get Drivers with AMD Auto-Detect and Install Tool.

AMD Product Selector

The Product Selector allows you to manually select your AMD product to get a list of all supported drivers for compatible operating systems, as shown below.

  • Graphics – Consumer class graphics commonly used in personal desktop and laptop PCs.   
  • Professional Graphics – Graphics products commonly found in systems used in the Design, Manufacturing, Media, Entertainment, Health and Science industries.   
  • Server Accelerators – AMD Instinct™ Server class accelerators commonly used in data center computing, supercharging HPC and AI workloads.
  • Processors with Graphics – Products that combine a Central Processing Unit (CPU) and a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) in a single chip and are widely used in desktop and laptops PCs as well as workstation systems.
  • Chipsets – Drivers for motherboard components that manage communications between the different hardware devices in a system.
  • Processors – Software for AMD processors.
  • Desktop Kit – Software and drivers for AMD Ryzen 4700S systems.

Additional Resources

AMD offers reference drivers with broad compatibility for most OEM products, with limited support for vendor specific features. Due to vendor specific features in certain OEM products, custom drivers for these products are only available from the manufacturer.  For more information on AMD OEM and system integrator partners, please refer to AMD Partners: Add-in-Board, Original Equipment & System Builder Configurations.
