HI
Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this.
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.
regards
Ian
I am using older amd cards (not fire pro) since years without problems out of the box (PCEe). this cards are old, so i have to set a kernel parmater that it will use vulkan. if you have a problem here, i have to check at one of this old systems what i have done exactly, i am here at newer system who did not need that parameter, so i am not able to tell you at the moment.
I was hoping it'll work out of the box as long as vulkan is fully installed.
simoN
Thanks Ian
Still not at the old pc, but some datas (from 2020 when i installed vulkan): i am using (at one of them) 1024mb ati radeon hd5750 pcie-2e passiv 2xdvi 1x hdmi 128bit (bought in 2011) and as i remember that was the oldest (or one of the oldest) cards/chipsets in 2020 who was able to support vulkan (i found this info somewhere in the www ;-)) with the opensource ati-drivers. for this chipset i have to force the system to use vulkan. maybe the drivers are now more automatic and the forcing of using "kernelmodul amdgpu" instead of "kernelmodul radeon" is not needed? ================================ i found some more notes: kernel commandline with: radeon.cik_support=0 radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 amdgpu.si_support=1 inxi -G Graphics: Device-1: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde XT [Radeon HD 7770/8760 / R7 250X] driver: amdgpu v: kernel.
