    AMD Crimson Edition 16.2.1 Beta video driver

    Hi,
    I wonder if you can help me. I’ve been advised to use this driver for my ATI Radeon HD6770 1Gb card to make a game run better, but it’s a beta version and it’s not clear if this is compatible. Should I try it?

    Thanks for any advice.

    The latest stable version for your GPU(which is legacy now) would be 15.7.1. They do also have a beta version for your card, but that was never completed any further for your specific card due to your card being considered legacy. The full version of 16.2.1 has since been released and supports the HD7xxxx series and up.

    With all of that said, it is possible that you may get slightly(very slightly) better performance.

    The best solution however, would be looking to upgrade the GPU to something a bit more up to date. Most games require atleast 2GB on a GPU where as you have 1GB.
