Product: Pavilion G6-2003sm
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Good evening guys, so I have one problem, I am user of HP Pavilion G6-2003sm. But also I get one dedicated graphic card which is from AMD, Radeon 7670M, but when I download driver, catalyst driver I get driver from 2012 by HP driver website, which is too old. My question is it possible to download new one or should I use that from 2012?

Laptops come with specialized hardware and, as such, require drivers from their OEMs in order to work properly, in this case, from HP.

 

While drivers from AMD might work, generally, they do not and if you force their installation, the risk you run is of losing the display -- and that will make it very hard to fix.
