How to Install a RadeonHD Driver
RadeonHD is a series of high-end graphics cards produced by AMD under their ATI graphics card brand. After buying and physically installing a RadeonHD card, the card will not function properly until you install software drivers. Basic software drivers should be included on a CD that comes with any new RadeonHD card, but to install the best possible drivers, download and install a driver manually from ATI's driver support site.

Tips & Warnings
Check back at ATI's driver support page every few months for updated video drivers. Newer drivers are periodically released that are optimized to work with the latest computer games or offer new features.
