Upgrade from iGPU to dGPU - drivers? order? [Solved]
Re: Upgrade from iGPU to dGPU - drivers? order?
I thought that disabling the iGPU would prevent the dGPU and iGPU from “competing” with each other and causing inconsistencies or errors. I will inform you again as soon as I have installed it how it works and which drivers are used :-)
Re: Upgrade from iGPU to dGPU - drivers? order?
finally installed the card and it works so far.MadMax wrote: Fri Nov 29, 2024 12:20 pm
At boot the kernel chooses the driver automatically after detecting the hardware. Usually radeon is for older cards and amdgpu for the newer ones (probably including yours).
To check which driver is used run lspci with the -k flag.
Code: Select all
lspci -k
here is the output:
