That's the driver I'm on as well on 12.7, so it seems to have updated properly.
I don't know about the VGA driver, all I could find was this on it. LINK

Yeah I really don't know, everything was done right.
What that guy on that forum did to solve his error problem was to reinstall the stock drivers (if you have the disk) and then upgrade to 12.7 beta over the stock drivers as compared to deleting everything.
If you don't have the disk you could just restore to a few hours ago and then upgrade, use express like he did, and his worked just fine then.

Just a profile for the Beta, updates to stuff in the Beta that will be in the full release of 12.7.
So it worked?

That doesn't make much sense, if you were using your Intel GPU before then your FPS should be a LOT better now using the AMD GPU.
You've got the latest drivers for our cards now so idk.

I system restored again, don't know why the fps wasn't as good, but I see now that it is using my radeon card so thats good. Even though the little intel icon in the tray is always there no matter what, it does switch to my amd while gaming. I know because it was unplugged and I tried to run the game and didn't realize it was unplugged. The fps was horrible because it tried to use the intel. When I did realize I plugged it back in and my fps skyrocketed. The only thing is I don't get why the intel icon dissappeared from the tray when I updated to 12.7 beta last night?
