AMD Auto-Detect and Install Radeon Graphics Drivers (formerly AMD Driver Autodetect)

AMD created an application that can automatically detect drivers for the AMD video card, allowing users to download available updates on the spot. It goes by the (rather long) name of AMD Auto-Detect and Install Radeon Graphics Drivers, and it can quickly point to the official download source for AMD drivers, helping you make sure you always have the latest driver versions installed on your computer.

Typically, you can update drivers via the Device Manager tool that comes with Windows, but this operation is not always successful. It is recommended that you periodically search for new drivers on the producer’s company, even though this might annoy you to some extent. Luckily, AMD provides this simple application that can help you download drivers from official and safe sources.

After installation, AMD Auto-Detect and Install Radeon Graphics Drivers starts scanning your PC’s configuration to detect is compatible hardware and software is available. Evidently, using this application on a computer that comes with a graphics card other than AMD is pointless. The application is only compatible with AMD Radeon graphics and/or AMD Ryzen chipsets. Running it on a PC equipped with different hardware triggers an error.

Next, the application performs a quick search to find out whether the installed drivers are the latest. Updates are displayed within its main window, together with the version number, the release date and a few details about Microsoft certifications, tests and release importance. Additional options are available below. To start downloading the drivers, you simply have to select them. The transfer is initiated and the installation process starts.

Should your driver be up-to-date, this application notifies you accordingly. It is highly recommended running this tool and check for driver updates periodically.

AMD Auto-Detect and Install Radeon Graphics Drivers is a simple utility for updating AMD drivers. It saves you the trouble of having to manually search for drivers and it downloads them itself from the official, safe source provided by AMD, which are its two major pluses.
