Changing the graphics card in an ageing PC. Loyal to Radeon graphics chips. Good value for money.
This is the 3rd and last time I've bought a radeon with the same problem: the drivers!
Under Windows 10, it's impossible to install a recent version that one of my games requires. To top it all off, after restoring my system, it won't start and won't repair itself. I'm going to have to manually extract the ssd to recover important data on it, and I'm going to have to re-install a whole installation with all my programmes...
I know what the problem is but, as always, the manufacturer's official forum offers no help.
1 full day and 70 € lost, I would have been better off with a 1030, it's slower and more expensive but at least it works.
good card for a small, inexpensive configuration for League of Legends, Minecraft etc... old games or games requiring few resources
In the same universe: radeon rx 550
