This link should give you the latest Drivers and AMD's Catalyst Controller software for the AMD Radeon HD 6770M GPU.

Latest Driver for AMD Radeon HD 6770M GPU (Windows 7 32 Bit).

It's always worth uninstalling the current drivers in Windows before installing new ones to avoid conflicts, this article may be helpful:

How to uninstall pre-existing graphics card drivers from a Microsoft Windows based system.

As a belts and braces approach after the initial reboot after uninstalling the current drivers I also use this program to get rid of any remenants of GPU drivers (after running this program just do a second reboot prior to installing the new drivers):

Guru3D - Driver Sweeper

Don't panic, the resolution of your screen will be be very low at this point as the computer is using a basic VGA display driver, once you've installed the new driver you'll be quickly back in business.

Let us know how you get on.

I just made an attempt installing the BETA drivers, on a hunch that they might work. The download pulls the entire driver up front, and they do indeed install successfully on my mid 2011 21.5" iMac.

Remember to download the BETA drivers, folks!
