Refer the following link to download the version 8.783.3.0 graphics drivers: http://dell.to/17eL0PP
Before reinstalling the above drivers, uninstall the existing graphics drivers. Refer following link for detailed instructions to uninstall the graphics drivers: http://dell.to/1ebC2sx
thank you for the reply but that did not work, does not appear to be suitable for the n5010.
I do not suppose there is any way to upgrade the gpu that is currently in the laptop to something better is there?
I am guessing the only other choice is a new laptop but I like the one I have, just don't like that the gpu is so outdated now and that there does not seem to be any up to date support or drivers for it.
As correctly said by ejn63, graphics card cannot be upgraded since it is soldered on the motherboard.
We can try using the AMD Driver Autodetect tool which will scan the computer for the graphics card and operating system installed, and will download the latest driver available. Refer the following link for instructions: http://dell.to/GHkd87
I have been playing world of warcraft and it is now appearing for that. I had been playing this no issue for a few years, the minimum system specs are windows XP and up, intel pentium D or amd atlhon 64 X2, ati radeon x1600 or nvidia geforce 6800, 2gb ram.

There is no way to upgrade the GPU (hardware) in the system, no.

I will keep trying it through out the day just in case it decides to work :)

Hi sear69,
May I know the name of the game that you are unable to play? Did you check the hardware requirements for the particular game?
Unfortunately, I could not locate any other version of graphics drivers for your laptop.
