ATI Radeon HD 4650 Driver Help Hey, so I have a ATI Radeon HD 4650, and it's been a good card, I have been liking it.
But yesterday I was playing my FPS I usually play online, and I can run it at 1280x960 on high settings with a minimum of 150 FPS. Now I can barely run it at 1280x720 on low and I can't even hit 100 FPS, it's doing this to me on all games..
My only guess is the drivers are extremely out of date or something?
So I downloaded this driver detective thing and it said it was, but I had to pay. I don't really want to do that, and I'm assuming Radeon releases the drivers for free?
So could anyone help me get the drivers for the Radeon HD 4650 on Windows 7.
Also just a side question, would over clocking my CPU and graphics card boost the performance?
Thanks! | My System Specs |

I have a AMD Phenom II X4 925 Processor 2.80 GHz, 8.00 GB, 64 Bit. Do you need to know anything else?
Also I don't want to overclock my CPU, just my graphics card. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP-Pavilion OS Windows 7 CPU Processor AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 925 Processor, 2800 Mhz, Memory Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series Monitor(s) Displays 1920 x 1080 x 59 hertz Mouse Razer Deathadder 3500 PSU 750 W.

Also, after I installed that driver thing my comp went nuts, it switched to a 800x600 res then switched back to 1920x1080, does that mean the driver was installed? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP-Pavilion OS Windows 7 CPU Processor AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 925 Processor, 2800 Mhz, Memory Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series Monitor(s) Displays 1920 x 1080 x 59 hertz Mouse Razer Deathadder 3500 PSU 750 W.

if you want to know it installed well. check into your disk management. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number built up OS windows 7 CPU Phenom II AMD Dragon 3.5Ghz Memory DDR3 4GB Graphics Card ATI Radeon 512Mb Monitor(s) Displays HP L1506 Screen Resolution 1152 x 864 Keyboard HP wireless keyboard Mouse HP Optic Hard Drives WDC 1 TB SATA-II Green Power Internet Speed 1GB |

The software will try to set your screen to the native resolution of your monitor so that seems right. If you don't like that resolution you can change it to something more your liking. Note: You may want to disable the ATI Helper Service; it has been known to cause issues for many on Windows 7. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell OP760 OS Windows 7 Enterprise (x64); Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64) Memory 8GB Monitor(s) Displays 2 Dell 19" LCD Screen Resolution 1280x1024 Keyboard Dell Mouse Dell Optical Internet Speed 40meg |

Yeah I guess it worked then. I have a HP Monitor, 23" I'm pretty sure the native resolution is 1920x1080 but what ever it didn't change res for nothing so I suppose it means it installed good. Now back to over clocking my graphics card, can I do it with the 4650? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP-Pavilion OS Windows 7 CPU Processor AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 925 Processor, 2800 Mhz, Memory Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series Monitor(s) Displays 1920 x 1080 x 59 hertz Mouse Razer Deathadder 3500 PSU 750 W.
