AMD Radeon 500 Series Graphics Card Drivers

#1 Post by karens_haircut »

I have never used a graphics card before. I have never installed graphics card drivers on my current MX PC.

https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics ... eon-rx-590 this link does not list drivers for Debian (at least, I don't think it does).

I see in MX Tools there is an NVIDIA installer tool but nothing about AMD.

How do I acquire drivers for my AMD card to use with MX Linux?

We need your computer’s complete profile before we can proceed, so you need to post the output from the QSI utility. The Quick System Info (QSI) utility is located in MX Tools and its output is automatically formatted for use here in the forum. Run the QSI utility, click “Copy for Forum” at the bottom and then just paste it here in your thread.

They're already included. Your QSI will show which one is running (IIRC, that series can run either the radeon or amdgpu driver).

It'll just work, but if you're adding it to a machine where you've been using the built-in graphics, you will probably have to disable the built-in in the box's BIOS/UEFI setup. To make sure, after adding the card and disabling the built-in, you could boot up a MX Live session and check out the graphics section in QSI.

Try running

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxxx
in a terminal to cut & paste here.
It's not precisely the same but close enough.

So, inxi is showing the integrated Cezanne GPU automatically loading and using the amdgpu driver, as it should.

That begs the question: is the new RX590 in the machine yet, and if so, is the integrated Cezanne GPU disabled in the "BIOS" setup?

If the rx590 is installed, have you plugged power into both the 8pin & 6pin power jacks on the card?
That card pulls ~220 watts. The PCie port maxes out around 70watts so the card won't boot up without those connected.
