I've tryed to install the new 13.1 update and it does so but when it finishes it says I must install the correct driver for my hardware,is anybody else having this problem.
 
Hi does anyone have any ideas,only had card since Monday to,It won't accept 13.1 drivers also when starting card with hd mi cable in it starts with a green overlay on the bios startup screen.
 
Hi Choimaloy, the 7870XT is brand new, and as the 13.1's are basically the 12.11 betas with a few more fixes and tweaks, its possible it hasn't made it into the INF files yet; it wouldn't be the first or last time newly released cards take a month or two to make the official driver releases because of when the drivers go for WHQL testing etc.

Try the 13.2 betas floating around. They're not perfect/finished, but there are meant to be an official beta release coming along soon.

Alternatively Guru3d etc will probably release a modded version of the 13.1s which put it in at some point!
 
Well that's good to here I thought there was something wrong,about the green overlay that happens when I startup using hdmi could there be a problem there as it doesn't do it through VGA.
