5850 Drivers - help please

[ShivP]

Hi all

I have 2x monitors plugged into a 5850 HIS card using HDMI and DVI (to VGA converter)
The HDMI monitor is 1440p. I have plugged the card in first time just now into an i5 Z97-HD3 450W leadex PSU. I however cannot get the drivers to work so only one monitor is detected and the monitors mirror each other.

These are the drivers I am trying
https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy3&os=Windows 7 - 64
The Crimson Software Beta

The drivers don't seem to install on windows 7 64bit and both monitors are stuck on the low resolution and mirroring each other so it's basically useless for 2 monitors
Any ideas as to how I can install drivers?

Thanks

Have you tried the older drivers? Something like amd-catalyst-15.7-with-dotnet45-win7-64bit.exe Which I had for my old HD6850 at one point on win7.

you need to try as many drivers up to a recent date as you can, when i had a 5850 i had issues aswell, some showed as legacy, some were older or different, i was using 64bit 7 too, lot of hassle for obsolete tech.

Edit - I think that the same as your original link - the catalyst drivers link is there too

Yep. As above. Legacy drivers. Had the same issue until I upgraded to RX480. It may even have been a Catalyst 14 driver. Can check up tomorrow if you like. I have kept a copy somewhere for running a three monitor set-up on my retired 5850

You need to install 15.xx drivers not 16.xx.
