The AMD Radeon R5 M335 driver enables Windows to communicate with this dedicated laptop GPU, supporting proper display output, graphics acceleration, and application compatibility. Installing a suitable driver can help resolve issues such as incorrect screen resolution, missing graphics controls, or a GPU listed as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.

Key Features

• Hardware-accelerated graphics: Enables supported applications and games to use the Radeon R5 M335 for rendering rather than relying on basic display functionality.
• Display configuration: Provides support for the resolutions and external display options available through your laptop’s hardware.
• Graphics settings: Compatible AMD driver packages may include controls for adjusting image quality, power preferences, and application-specific graphics behavior.
• Switchable graphics support: Helps the dedicated AMD GPU work alongside integrated graphics on compatible laptops, provided the required drivers for both adapters are installed.

How to Install

1. Confirm your GPU and Windows version. Open Device Manager, expand Display adapters, and check for AMD Radeon R5 M335. Identify whether your laptop runs Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, or Windows 7, and verify its system architecture before selecting a package.

1. Choose a compatible driver. Check the package’s supported hardware and operating systems. Driver availability varies across these Windows versions, so do not assume that one download supports all four. For laptops with switchable graphics, the laptop manufacturer’s customized package may be the best starting point.

1. Prepare the laptop. Connect it to power, close running applications, and consider creating a Windows restore point. If your laptop manufacturer specifies an installation order for integrated and dedicated graphics drivers, follow that guidance.

1. Run the installer. Extract the download if needed, launch the setup program, and follow the prompts. The screen may flicker or briefly go blank while Windows replaces the display driver. Avoid interrupting the installation.

1. Restart and verify. Reboot when prompted, then check Device Manager for warning icons. Confirm that your usual resolution is available and test an application that uses the GPU.

If the installer reports unsupported hardware or an incompatible operating system, stop rather than forcing the installation. Recheck the package requirements, especially on Windows 11, where official support for this older GPU may be limited.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or reports no compatible hardware: The R5 M335 is a legacy mobile GPU and often needs the OEM or AMD legacy driver package, not current Adrenalin. Confirm Windows version/architecture, run the installer as administrator, and temporarily disable antivirus.
• Device not detected: Check Device Manager for “Microsoft Basic Display Adapter” or a yellow warning mark. If switchable graphics are disabled in BIOS/UEFI, enable the discrete GPU and rescan hardware. On laptops, install the OEM chipset/GPU driver first.
• Version conflicts or Windows Update overwrites the driver: Use DDU in Safe Mode to remove old AMD drivers, install the correct R5 M335 package, then pause or block automatic driver updates. If Windows replaces it, roll back in Device Manager.
