    Well I just recently purchased an Acer laptop and I fresh installed it right away because of all the bloatware. I got all the drivers I needed off the Acer and AMD websites. My question is my driver for the GPU is for the 5600/5700 series. It is running pretty good. I thought maybe it was just the driver made for this because I have read the GPU’s are relatively the same(5550/6550). So I went into the driver details and updated the driver and it updated to the 6550m. The thing is with the 5600/5700 driver I could get my display to 1600x900(the laptop is 17.3 in). With the 6550 driver I could not. The highest I could go was 1400xsomething.

    So I guess I have a few questions but I just want to know for one if running the 5600/5700 is bad(because I just rolled it back).

    And which driver is better. I don’t play any of the games on a 1600x900 display but I do like it as my regular display. Would it make my games run better with the 6550m drivers?

    Any help would be great.
