AMD has made available a new graphics package targeted at some of its Embedded GPUs, G-Series SOCs, and R-Series APUs / SOCs, which ensure compatibility with the 64-bit architecture of Microsoft’s Windows 7 and 10 operating systems.

To be clear, the producer has provided the 17.10.3001 package, which provides support for 1st Gen (eKabini) and 2nd Gen (Steppe Eagle) G-Series SoCs, as well as for 1st Gen (eTrinity FS1r2) and 2nd Gen (Bald Eagle) R-Series APUs.

Moreover, the file mentioned above also implements general bug fixes and adds compatibility with AMD’s Radeon E9550, E9260, E8860, and E8870 graphics cards, G-Series SoCs (LX), and 1st Gen R-Series (eTrinity FP2) devices.

Last but not least, system configurations that include an R-Series SoC (Merlin Falcon), or a 3rd Gen G-Series SoC I (Brown Falcon) or J (Prairie Falcon) family GPU, can also make use of this update.

Considering all aspects described above, if you intend to upgrade your graphics chipset, simply save and unzip the appropriate package for your system configuration, run it, and follow all instructions displayed on-screen for a complete and successful installation.

Nevertheless, once the upgrade has finished, it is recommended that you perform a reboot to allow all changes to take effect properly. If this task isn’t requested automatically, it would be a good idea to carry it out manually.

That said, download AMD Embedded GPU and APU Driver 17.10.3001 64-bit, apply the new graphics driver, and constantly check our website to stay “updated one minute ago.”
