#AMD R9 390 DRIVERS OVERWATCH DRIVER#
Simply follow the instructions below and if you’re in the same boat as I was, you’ll find this to be a workable life vest until AMD and Apple release their next official driver release.
#AMD R9 390 DRIVERS OVERWATCH UPDATE#
To make a long story short, after some research and experimentation, I have discovered a way to unofficially update the Radeon R9 M370X driver on a MacBook Pro Retina 15″ Mid-2015 to the latest version, fixing the issue with Rainbow Six Siege.
If there was only a way to force the drivers to install, I felt I could make it work. It is only because AMD specifically excludes the Radeon R9 M370X GPU from their driver installer that we are left out. This is very infuriating, as I was fairly confident that AMD’s latest release probably would work on this GPU as it was part of a family of processors that pretty much use the same drivers. I did a lot of research and found no solutions available. This normally would be a no-brainer easy fix, except that I stated above we MacBook Pro Retina owners who have the AMD Radeon R9 M370X can not update our drivers past the official September 21st release. Specifically, if you are trying to play the recent release of Rainbow Six Siege on a MacBook Pro Retina 15″ Mid-2015 model, you will have noticed significant graphical glitching as this video demonstrates:Īs the video states, it turns out the fix is to simply update to the latest Radeon graphic drivers. Unfortunately, for those of us that like to play games through Boot Camp on our Macs, these drivers are a little long in the tooth. For most people, that really isn’t much of an issue. Now that it is early December, these drivers are a little over two months old. The last time these drivers were updated was September 21st.

Instead, this GPU will only run specific Boot Camp drivers that you can download from AMD’s site or through Apple’s Software Update utility. It seems that AMD (maybe at Apple’s behest?) is not supporting the Radeon R9 M370X GPU in this MacBook Pro with their standard Radeon driver updates.
#AMD R9 390 DRIVERS OVERWATCH WINDOWS#
For those of us who run Windows through Boot Camp on this Mac, keeping the graphics driver updated is a little bit of a chore. If you purchased a MacBook Pro Retina 15″ model this year after late May, you may have purchased the model with the AMD Radeon R9 M370X discrete graphics processor. I wish AMD and Apple would update their official drivers more frequently, but at least we still have an option to update unofficially on our own. I have just used the process in this article to update to version 16.9.2 of the Radeon drivers to verify it still works correctly. Update 2: As of October 2016, AMD and Apple have yet to release an updated Radeon driver since April. I’ve not yet tested them, so proceed at your own risk. Additionally, if you read the comments there are now a couple of sites that claim they have pre-packaged modified drivers available. However, the steps described below should still work if you want to make sure you have the latest and greatest unsupported driver from AMD for your Radeon R9-based Mac. I recommend you use this supported driver at this time. This updated driver fully supports Rainbow Six Siege and other new games. Update: As of April 2016, AMD has finally released an updated Radeon Boot Camp driver for the 2015 MacBook Pro Retina 15″ and similar iMac Retina models.
