Witcher 3 on Inspiron 5520

Since I'll soon be away and unable to use my home PC I wanted to install Witcher 3 on my laptop. I've got Dell's Inspiron 5520 running on 64bit Windows 7 with ADM Radeon HD 7670M graphic card. I installed it, but the game crashes on launch.

I've checked the common solutions and wanted to update my graphic drivers. However, it turns out I'm unable to do so. Despite the fact that my graphic drivers are dated at 05.03.2012, the system manager tells me they're up to date. I've tried to manually install the newest Catalyst (using ADM autodetect service), but those drivers aren't recognized as valid.

What should I try to do next to run Witcher 3?

Whenever a game crashes at launch it means:You do not have enough memory (RAM) for the application.Your CPU/GPU isn't strong enough.The application has errors or memory leaks (Many people are playing so this is likely not the case).

bad news man ...your card is very far from the minimum requirements, look at the benchmarks

-Nvidia GPU GeForce GTX 660 -->4118
-AMD GPU Radeon HD 7870 --->4260

-Radeon HD 7670M --> 824

Ah, I see. At least it works on my desktop. ;)

Still, I would've expected the game to go as far as the menu screen and then crash.
