Wrong GPU detection
Hello. I just wanted to tell that the amd driver for my inspiron n4050 located on downloads page as the newest [link] detects my GPU wrong.
I have HD6470 but it is detected as HD7450 and the performance went down when i installed it so iam going to install the old one.
Here is the screenshot

Hi GAVVVR,
To enhance the performance of the graphics chipset, AMD has released a new version of driver for AMD Radeon HD 6470. As a part of the update, the chipset was rebranded as AMD Radeon HD 7450M. This does not indicate any hardware/technology change but a simple driver update and rebranding. Hence it is neither an error nor the system detecting a wrong video card.
