Windows 10: Best driver for radeon HD 5770?

I am hoping to get help and advice from the Ten Forum on a problem with my Dell XPS 435t/9000 and the Radeon 5770 video card. I have had this for quite a while and have kept it up to date. I have a 512 GB SSD for C: and a 1 TB hard drive on D:. I also have two DVD writers and and 12 GB memory. My video card is now a problem. I have the original Radeon HD 5770 card and the performance was adequate for my needs, but now I'm having a problem. I upgraded successfully to Windows 10 Pro and then the trouble started. I get problems with a graphics fault. The message is "Display Driver has stopped and has been restarted...." Some random application my be listed.

Here's what I have tried. I uninstalled the original driver and installed the latest 15.xxx driver from AMD and the catalyst control center function was restored and failures got fewer. If I get a failure, usually a log off and log back on will fix it. The symptoms, besides the message, usually are display corruption and finally system response fails. I did remove all amd software before installing the new drivers.

I am wondering if anyone has tried a different video card with success? I found a card, PNY XLR8 GeForce GTX960 (~$200) which seems to have power requirments that fit the current power supply and performance as good or better than my current card. Has anyone tried this card and what were the results? I am willing to buy a new card, but would like to now waste money if it won't work.

Currently running 15.201.1151.1008 amd driver. The microsoft driver is much worse -- the fans go crazy. If anyone has a successful driver, please tells what to use and how to find it. Any advice would be appreciated!!

Can no longer select 1920x1080 resolution for my monitor

When I do that, it says, "The best driver for your device is already installed."

It's an AMD Radeon HD 6620G, by the way.

 

AMD Display Driver 8.970.100.9001 fails to work in Windows 10 after critical actualization of November 2017

Up to now, my ATI Radeon HD 4570 display card ran perfectly in Windows 10. But after the actualization of November 2017, the same display driver 8.970.100.9001 fails to work.

Thank you.

 

Please try and install the drivers (Beta version)

Legacy

 

That is what I am using now. Gives many errors "Display Driver has stopped and has been restarted" or "appname has tried to access graphics and been forbidden" type errors.

 

The beta version is 16.X and as per the post the version installed by you is 15.X

 

Have you tried the beta on the system and did it work? Thanks.
