Product: Pavilion dv6-6b04er
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hello! I have a notebook Pavilion dv6-6b04er with 2 GPUs and Dual Graphics  as listed^

 

CPU is AMD A8-3550MX APU with Radeon™ HD Graphics 1,80 Ghz

GPUs are is Dual Graphics AMD Radeon™ HD 6620G and AMD Radeon™ HD 6750M. Their original driver is 8.832.0.0 from 01.04.2011.  I want to update this driver to the most up-todate version of AMD drivers with Dual Graphics support, which is suitable for this notebook, to get better results in recent games and 3D midelling software. Especially I need OpenCL 1.2 support (which exists from November of 2011 as far as I know). So far mu GPUs support only OpenCL 1.1.  The latest driver I found on your site is  AMD High-Definition (HD) driver with version number 8.900.7.1000 (173.5 MB) from 18 November 2011. Does it have OpenCL 1.2 support or not? If not, which compatible Dual Graphics driver I can install in my  dv6-6b04er ? Searching all over the web, I found that I cannot just take any drivers from AMD official site  (they have not Dual Graphics profiles) and one possible suitable driver is WHQL certified driver 15.201.2901.1004  from Microsoft Windows Update downloads (http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=15.201.2901.1004) , and maybe Catalyst 12.5 Beta.  What should I choose for better results and safety? (I wouldn't like any serious problems with BSOD and BIOS errors, as it happens o often).  Is there any other way to get OpenCL 1.2 DLLs for my GPUs and make them work right with my hardware and older drivers of 2011? 

The second question is how to update GPU drivers properly on my notebook. Should I carefully clean all remainders of previous drivers on HDD and within the registry, which utility is better to use (I found DDU — Display Driver Uninstaller).

Thank you in advance for help/ 


My OS is Windows 7 Home Basic x64 SP1
