As what the subject mention how come MSI is not recognizing their NEW flagship handheld, this a8 has an OLD driver (z2extreme) it uses Microsoft driver dated 2009 and the GPU/APU was dated May 2025, clearly these drivers are not ment for this handheld.

Does anyone knows where to get latest drivers?\
Thanks in advance!
 
It is sad to tell that there are no generic driver updates for the Z2 Extreme processor.
The only way is to wait for the update from MSI website.
 
And here we go again. Almost 2 months no driver updates.
Dear MSI, please, I need to know. Can you with AMD improve performance of Ryzen Z2 Extreme and do you think is it Ok right now?
Sometimes difference between z1e and z2e 3-5%.
It's nothing.
 
Когда будут обновления? У конкурента Asus уже есть новая версия драйвера GPU.
 
Обновлений драйверов видеокарты для A8 не было уже больше месяца. Вот насколько эффективна поддержка MSI.
 
Thank you msi for 6 months without graphic driver update, are you serious? I am considering selling a8 and buyin XAX, updating GPU driver every 2 months.
 
I’d say this is pretty normal for MSI handhelds right now - they don’t really push standalone GPU/APU drivers like desktop AMD cards. Most updates come slowly through MSI Center or Windows Update.
If I were you, I’d just stick to MSI’s official updates for now and not try to force AMD reference drivers, because these devices are pretty OEM-locked and it can break stuff. Unfortunately, support is just not as fast as people expect yet.
