Looking for the latest drivers I can use on the AMD A8 Pro 7600B; which has a Radeon R7 as graphics chip on it.

I found a Lenovo driver for a specific computer they make that works for this APU, although I am not sure if it is the best drivers I can get, as the performances of the video card are not exactly super under Windows XP 32 bit.
I heard that some people are able to install newer drivers on older OS by making changes to some system files? Is this possible for this APU? I would like to get the best out of it and I am sure that the problem here is mostly the graphics drivers that are not pushing the hardware to the limit.

I have an AMD APU driver package.
It worked for getting my AMD E2-6110 APU working in XP, So it might work for you?

Thanks! Will try those 2 and see what I get in 3dmark

I compared the results to a similar system that is few years older; another A8 APU which is basically using an older GPU (HD7560D), but is running at twice the results on 3dmark 99 through 2005, with correct drivers for that APU/GPU... Like I can hit 30K in 3dmark 2001 or 13K in 3dmark 2005; which is quite a lot for an APU

If I can get even closer results to that, I can consider myself happy 😁
