In the end with no way to compare what I was installing with what was installed I just had to install it and gamble it was a newer version. The installer loaded and again told me that my installed driver was 18.10 butt now that the local driver was 18.10, Awesome! Both drivers were released this year! Amazingly specific information >.> At this point I tried checking the file versions of the installer again in the vain hope AMD included any relevant information this time (lol) and it lists the file version 0.0.0.0, the product name was 17.4 and the product version was blank, again super helpful. 20 because smaller numbers usually = higher revision (sarcasm), so I downloaded that (as according to the date it IS a newer revision) and tried to install it. So I went to AMD's site and that directed me to the driver which was released on. Okay I thought, maybe GB uploaded the wrong driver or it's displaying wrong in the installer so I checked the details of installer in properties in the hope that would have some reference to what it was installing (lol) and that said it was file version 9.0.0.4, the product name was AMD software and the product version was 9.0.000.4, super helpful.Īt this point I figured I would give up with using the drivers from the motherboard manufacturer and just get them straight from AMD (years of using AMD GPU drivers had taught me not to try that as a first port of call). Went to install it and the installer checked the internet (for apparently no reason) and then told me my current driver was 18.10 and the local driver (presumably the one I'm trying to install was 17.12. Got the latest chipset driver from the Gigabyte site which was 18.10.20 and uploaded. Last night I tried to install the latest drivers for my X370 board and Jesus Christ the experience is still the same aids it was at launch (despite LtMatt saying AMD were aware it was awful and planned to address it).

Update chipset drivers amd
