How do I update the drivers on my GPU?

I noticed there is no "Update drivers" button or link in Catalyst Control Center, or I wasn't able to find it.

Do I need to uninstall the current one and then locate the one I need and manually install it? I just want whatever the latest full release version is. Currently running 13.3.

Just go to the AMD website and download/install the latest whql one. Are you running a beta? The latest whql is 13.12 I think

Feature Highlights of the AMD Catalyst™ 13.3 Beta Driver for Windows


  • Improve performance in Sim City 5 up to 16 percent
  • Improves performance in Far Cry 3 up to 5 percent
  • Improves latency performance issues seen in Tomb Raider and Hitman Absolution
  • Resolves slight corruption seen in Tomb Raider with TressFX enabled for CrossFire and single GPU configurations


So does that mean the 13.12 version I just downloaded is actually going to be slower in Far Cry 3?
 
13.3 is a much earlier build compared to 13.12. Why would you think FC3 would run slower?

Edit - Oh, I see now. The build numbers for AMD drivers are not sequential in the way you're thinking. Their nomenclature goes YEAR.MONTH. So 13.3 drivers are from March 2013, while 13.12 are from December 2013.
