PowerColor Radeon R7 240 With Official AMD Drivers On Windows 8.1

Unread post by SatoshiHikari »

i recently bought a new powercolor radeon r7 240 gpu for my optiplex desktop but found out it only has windows 10 drivers since it's based of the original architecture of the original 240 would it be possible to get the official drivers from amd to work on it? if anyone has some tips or experience with drivers and modding it would help alot if i could get this working (p.s the gpu is Oland architecture)

Use the latest 7 drivers for any GPU.

Install driver with device manager, install AMD settings and whatever requirements it has manually.

the problem is the driver detects as usable and the installer runs like normal but nothing happens with it the audio and error report manager install but the driver stays as default vga windows driver. and it does this with several of the windows 7 and 8.1 drivers i tested on it (i even tried the one vista driver and that still did nothing)
