How to install AMD Drivers (without the installing Adrenaline Software)

Some of us want our system to be as light as possible, not needing the functions and features provided. Some of us have a problematic system of which could possibly be resolved by not having the software.

Here's how you can go about installing just the drivers alone.

This helped me by making my system stable after installing a diy 120mm fan on an aged r9 270x. My temps stay near 70 C. With the adrenaline drivers my system crashed after 1 min of playing games or graphics intensive workloads. 👏🏽🙏🏼 Thank You so much for making this video.

Adrenaline has fucked my AMD/Ryzen system twice. And I'm not talking about minor issues, I'm talking blue screens and reinstalling windows issues. This simple work around is a thing of beauty. Thank you so much.

Adrenaline is so bad that i genuinely am looking to return / sell my 6800XT so i can go back to nvidia and have a normal driver set up. Thank you for posting this

Thank you! My god, this adrenalin software stuff is awful, at least for me.

Games continuously crashed and I thought it was my new aoc 165hz monitor. I was depressed for weeks. Removing adrenaline was fix for all my problems. I never had a crash since. Thank you.

Thanks man. I was catching Hell trying to get control of my resolution after installing the full AMD software suite. I can't for the life of me understand why they would have made it lock my resolution.

Works smoothly, finally I can play games without constant crashes in 30 minutes

I am not sure if this was mentioned but this is a fantastic fix for the 5700 Xt, But without adrenaline there is no way to control the fans and the card will get hot you but use MSI after burner to to make sure your driver is correct and set to fan profiles. Thank you again this fixed problems I was dealing with for over a year

I can finally play more than 5 minutes of a game thank you my man

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was struggling with my radeon RX 570 and my old monitor CRT acerview 34 e every time i installed a radeon driver i was unable to make it work, thanks to this now i am able to see actually typing this comment on new drivers installed seriously humankind needs more people like you. THANKS! btw if you are reading this comment and you find unable to make old CRT monitors work just install drivers this way in this might be the solution for you too. Blessings.

when i try to update the driver and put in the file path and click next it tells me the best drivers for your device are already installed but its not, it’s still the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, what do i need to do?

[TarmoFlake]

Just for the record: this works on Windows 7 too.

Thanks a lot!

I don't know why I didn't think of this, but you sir are a god send. Thanks for this!

[jakubpolak]

Thank you thank you thank you man. Dude on 9gag told me to install it clean and thank to both of you I can finaly play Dark Souls 3 on stable 60 fps without tearing.

[carbx]

This helped me after hours of not hearing any sound because my driver wouldn't update. thank you sooo much!

[unternull]

This is really a good tutorial, I've been looking for some time how to update the AMD drivers correct. Mostly I got an error, fucking up my drivers completly. This is the one!!!!

[fianjames]

I think the new AMD software was causing my system to crash. I never would have thought of this myself! Thanks for posting this video! (And wish me luck that my system stops crashing)

When I get to the part browser for driver on your computer I paste the same as we copy information that we save on a text doc. It say cant be found.

[MurraySwe]

Much appreciated. I was able to install the drivers without the software.
