I'm currently using an old Nvidia card which sometimes makes horrible screaming noises when viewing videos. I've decided to go to AMD instead and looking at old cheap AMD Firepro cards (my system is old), I was just wondering if anyone has any experience of them on Tumbleweed and old Gigabyte (PCEe 2.0, AMD CPU) motherboards.
What software do I have to install to get the open source AMD drivers I've got some Vulkan stuff already installed (not sure how as i've not used an AMD graphics card on this system) but there is lots of other software listed for Vulkan not installed.

Depending on "How old" that Nvidia card is, you may be better just googling a new fan for that model and swapping it out. You will either have the thin-plastic style fan or the good centrifugal squirrel-cage type fan. Both are less than $20 and easy to put in (with tiny screws). If it's a GTX 500x version or higher, I'd replace the fan. It will be good for another decade. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
