Keeping your AMD graphics card or processor drivers up to date is essential for improving gaming performance or fixing display issues. This guide provides easy steps to download and update AMD drivers, ensuring your system runs smoothly.

Method 1: Using a Driver Management Tool

The right driver can optimize performance and fix potential compatibility issues. We recommend using Driver Talent to automatically detect and update drivers, saving time and avoiding downloading or installing incorrect drivers.

Open your browser and go to the official AMD website. Navigate to the "Resources & Support" page and click "Drivers".

On the "Driver Selection" page, choose your product type, such as "Radeon Graphics" or "Ryzen Processors".
