    If you go to the dash (top left on the launcher menu or press the super/windows key) and type "drivers" it should come up.

    You can download the driver here:

    http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...2&lang=English

    Once it is installed you should be able to find it in your dash by typing "catalyst".
