Product name: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC

Product number: QJ920AV#ABA

 

Windows 7 64-bit

 

I am trying to find the latest official driver (non-beta) for my computer's amd graphics card, however it is hard to find it since AMD does not archive their drivers for easy download and their latest drivers are incompatiable with mine. 

 

Also, the notebook manufacturer, despite saying that I should download drivers from them, does not update their drivers at all, so I am forced to go to the AMD website to download more recent drivers from there, which I can't do anyways...

 

So, can someone link me to the latest non-beta amd mobility driver for a AMD Mobility Radeon 6700m series card which is compatible with switchable graphics? 

 

Note: The amd official driver verification tool does not work with this. Whenever I try to use it, it tells me to use my manufacturer provided drivers, but those are outdated, so the circle continues.

Official HP provided Windows 7 drivers for your computer can be found on the HP Pavilion dv6t-6b00 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page. The only official drivers that function correctly with the HP Switchable Graphics are those provided by HP. Trying to use drivers downloaded directly from Intel and/or AMD will not work as they don't support the modifications made by HP.

 

One option that's quite popular with people who want more up to date drivers, is the third party provider http://leshcatlabs.net/.  - I recommend that you read and fully understand why driver signing enforcement needs to be disabled in order to load these drivers and what risks it may pose. You may also consider reading this HP Forum thread entitled How can I use the newest drivers for my ATI/AMD card?

 

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
