after installting AMD catalyst this pop up "No AMD device driver installed" and strange thing is in the device manager ATI radeon HD 4330 suddenly chaanges to ATI radeon HD 4300. how do you fix this?
 
Hi nemea,
I'm guessing your using a laptop? If so please refer to the manufacturers website and install the drivers from there.

Just to add this is an update thread and so not really the right place for your question. Any problems please pm me and I'll be happy to help. :)
 
i just did went to their website, and that's where the problem begin. will post back the result if there is any thank you kemical.:)
 
Just thought I'd give you the heads up, them 11.6 drivers are very poor for DIRT2 & 3, other games seem fine but them two lost about 30fps (was running 45fps max !!) till reverted back to the 11.5 hotfix b3's. At first I blamed my new Driving Force GT wheel I bought today, but was performing just as badly without it plugged in using my X360 pad.
