Updating your AMD GPU and chipset drivers is simple. Follow our step-by-step guide to get it done in no time.
Staying regular with your driver updates plays an important part in making your PC run well. Whether you own an AMD graphics card or one of AMD’s top processors, GPU and chipset drivers can be quite impactful, affecting the performance of your PC.
Good news: Updating your AMD drivers is easy, no matter the method or the exact type of driver you need. Check out our step-by-step guide to updating AMD drivers.How to update GPU and chipset drivers with AMD Auto Detect
If you want to update your AMD drivers with minimal hassle, your best bet is to use AMD’s software that will automatically detect your hardware and suggest matching drivers. This can be used to update both your GPU drivers and your chipset drivers, making it a versatile tool.
Step 1: AMD’s Auto Detect and Install tool is readily available on its website, so head over there to download it.
Step 2: Let the tool scan your PC — this might take a while and may go faster if you shut down other software. Once the scan is over, AMD will tell you which drivers are available for your PC.
Once drivers have been found, you can choose to Skip them or Install them. Before clicking on Install, feel free to tap on Additional Options to select the install type and location. AMD also has a handy option that lets you perform a factory reset on your drivers, and it’s tucked away under Additional Options. This is a way to fully remove the driver and perform a clean install without having Windows automatically supply you with a backup driver, which it typically tends to do.
Step 3: GPU drivers will appear first, and this applies even if you don’t have a discrete graphics card from AMD, as integrated GPUs also get drivers. Next, you will get chipset drivers if you also have a Ryzen processor. Tap on the ones you want to skip to deselect them, then press Install to begin the process.
Once the installation is over, restart your PC to finalize the changes.
