AMD Radeon Driver Version Not Detecting/Preventing game launch

Hello, I just bought the Battlefront game and I cant seem to get it to start because my graphics card drivers are apparently not up to date. I am greeted with this message whenever I attempt to play the game:

"Detected AMD Radeon driver version UNKNOWN . The required driver version is 13.251 or later. Please update your drivers at http://www.amd.com/ before playing the game."

I have tried updating my graphics card(ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series) to its latest version (13.4 Legacy Beta Driver) to no avail. The AMD website and "auto utility detect" says it cannot update my card any further. .

I really do not want to spend a couple hundred dollars on a new video card when I am pretty confident in my systems ability to run this game (at a lower graphics standard if need be). I was wondering if there were any steps I could take to resolve this issue or to disable this graphics driver version check. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Since there is no Radeon HD 4000 series GPU with Dx11 functions, the latest drivers for up to date hardware cannot be used by your so-old unit, sorry.  The minimum requirements are very clear about it.

    Minimum PC System Requirements

        OS: 64-bit Windows 7 or later (Win 7 should have SP 1)
