So I bought this lap top yesterday. HP Omen 17.3". It has the AMD Radeon RX 580. I go to can I run it and it says my driver is 6 months out of date but I've updated everything and not sure what else to do. Is that a issue that its not updating on the site or my drivers arent updating?

I suggest not using CanYouRunIt. The site is very unreliable and often wrong when it comes to checking if you can actually run a game. You are better off just buying the game on Steam and doing a refund if the game does not run well for you.

Well my thing is idk if the graphics driver is updated or not. I played spin tires got 60 fps. Got on csgo for a couple minutes and had over 150fps whole time. Would my fps b bad if my graphics driver was out dated?

No your FPS would only suffer a little bit in new or more recent games that older drivers don't officially support. You can use the AMD Autodetect Utility to see if you actually have to update your drivers.

Then you do not need to update. Like I said CanYouRunIt is a garbage tool. FPS will vary game by game (obviously) and it also depends on how well optimized a game is.

Thanks I never had a gaming lap top I had built a desktop but I didn't have an AMD Graphics card.
