[Solved] AMD Radeon HD 7790 Graphics Card

I just put a new graphics card in my box, and I got the drivers mostly working. Operation works normally most of the time, but I see issues when launching certain applications and sometimes when switching between ttys.
I'm using the proprietary drivers, following the instructions on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI_Catalyst
Every once in a while, there is a quick flicker when opening applications, but when starting something like Steam or running 'glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"' (recommended in the article to check whether things are working) the display freezes and begins flickering. This is only fixed by switching to another tty and rebooting.
I checked my /var/log/Xorg.0.log file after one of these episodes and found a backtrace with a message about a segmentation fault, but I cannot find it anymore.
Sorry there isn't much information here, but I'm not sure what else is relevant and I haven't been able to locate anything useful on The Internet

After lots of poking around and debugging, I came to suspect my DE as the problem, I've been trying out Enlightenment. I installed KDE and tried a few of the things that have been causing crashes, and so far so good.
Since I haven't seen any more signs of issues (yet), I'll mark this as solved.

  • Installing 2 AMD Radeon HD 7450 graphics cards in my pc

    I have a second AMD Radeon HD 7450 graphics card and am wondering if it can be installed in my p7-1459 to imporve gaming performance.  If it can, can you also direct me to installation procedures.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The simple answer is "NO".  There is no place to insert the card. Here is the motherboard, and the card.  The motherboard has only 1 graphic PCIEx16 slot, and 3 PCIEx1 slots.
    In the example below, the 4 pin ATX plug is marked.  Below that is the longer PCIEx16 slot, followed by 3 PCIEx1's.

    I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on Windows 8.1 with an AMD quad core processor and AMD E1-2100 APU with AMD Radeon HD 8210 Graphics Card. I have installed the latest driver version 13.152.0.0. When I activate puppet warp, the mesh appears over the image and I can place the first pin.  However, when I go to add the second pin, Photoshop crashes. I have tried with on a new, blank file, with just a few lines on it, but, as soon as I place the first pin, the image disappears, and then, as soon as I click anywhere else in the image, Photoshop crashes. I have followed all the online advice about settings under the Preferences/Performance interface, but nothing fixes the problem. Can anyone please help?

  • How do i make amd radeon my primary graphic card instead of the intel hd graphics ?

    i am new to using macs and was wonding how to make the pci-e amd radeon my primary graphic card as it is better than the onboard card that i am currently using.
    the amd card is already inside the laptop but i dont know how to make it my primary graphics card

    System Preferences > Energy Saver
    checkbox Automatic graphics switching.
    With this box unchecked it will always use your dedicated graphics card. With it checked it will only turn on when needed. This will save a lot of battery life, as it will only use it when needed. For example while playing a video game and not while watching a movie.

  • Any problem with AMD Radeon or FirePro graphic cards?

    Hi.
    I know that Adobe recommend Nvidia cards for SpeedGrade, but I ask to owners of AMD cards if they have found any problems with AMD cards: bad performance, not realtime with relatively few layers, etc, etc
    Which is your experience?
    Thanks.

    FWIW: I'm using a AMD Radeon HD 6750M (1GB RAM) on my Mac Book Pro. So far it performs fine, in some cases it even feels faster than the Quadro 4000 in my Mac Pro, but I think that has more to do with the type of projects. Mostly doing DSLR on the MBP and R3D on the Mac Pro.

  • Imac with radeon x 1600 graphics card will not send signal to projector

    I am using an Imac running Boot Camp. The Imac has a Radeon X 1600 graphics card. I have installed the latest driver in XP. The Device manager recognizes the correct card.
    The problem: I cannot get our projector to pick up the signal from the Imac. I have systematically gone through all the display settings. Others who have similar problems seem to have graphics cards with additional software that allows them to select a clone display feature.
    Any thoughts? The projector works fine with a macbook running bootcamp (xp).

    Hi Cathy and welcome to Discussions,
    sounds to me as if you are missing the Catalyst Control Center, which usually provides these kinds of setting.
    You can download both Drivers and the Control Center from the ATI/AMD website here: http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/mac/bootcamp-xp.html
    The Control Center needs a Windows where the .NET Framework (2.0 at least) is already installed before installing the Control Center, otherwise it does not work.
    You can download that from Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd -aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en
    Hope it helps.
    Good Luck

  • Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, Photoshop CC won't read the card drivers and says I need to reinstall them and disabled 3D funtions as a result. Anyone else with this issue?

       Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, I upgraded to Adobe CC and Photoshop CC disabled some filters and 3D functionality. The preference panel for Performance/Graphics Card in Photoshop CC is greyed out and inaccessible and shows this message -
    "Photoshop detected an error in your display driver. Update or reinstall the driver and check Use Graphics Processor to retry."
       I still have Photoshop CS6 installed and it still works perfectly. Anyone else with this issue? Is there a driver update for this compatable with my setup?

    after going round with this Adobe was able to find the fix....opened the "show content" folder for the application Photoshop CC (control click on the application folder) and navigate to the sniffer file and rename it by putting a tilda ~ in front of the name..." ~sniffer ", close and open PhotoshopCC...and voila, problem solved... Thankyou Adobe support

  • Cannot update AMD Radeon HD 6320 Graphics on Satellite L750D-14R

    Toshiba Satellite L750D-14R
    Part Number : PSK4YE-01H00HEN
    AMD Dual-Core Processor E-450 APU with AMD Radeon HD 6320 Graphics
    I have re-installed windows 7 pro and formatted the drive upon install.
    I have installed all of the necessary drivers but the graphics card will not update
    whenever i install a driver the install seems to just after extraction and do nothing and i am left with the generic vga adapter in the device manager.
    I have tried many things to make it work but I cannot figure it out, here are the solutions i have already tried:-
    used the Toshiba detector to find the drivers i need downloaded directly form the site.
    used numerous third party sites including AMD and their mobility catalyst ccc.exe, which says its not compatible with their software
    I have re-installed windows (formatted main drive) and installed the drivers in a different order, as per some peoples suggestions on other forums.
    I have run all of the windows updates and that didn't work
    I have manually searched for the driver but windows tells me the current driver is up to date.
    my Bios is fully up to date.
    Cant think of any more useful pieces of information to fix the problem, can anyone help?
    This is similar thread i found, but again there is no solution posted: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums//message.jspa?messageID=258331#258331

    sorry i should be more clear that was just a polite way of saying I cannot do that and i have tried several different ways of getting it to work that way.
    the answer lies within the unknown device on the device manager im sure. as the graphics are intregrated in the system i suspect that it isnt allowing it to update without this driver for (Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System) to be installed 1st.
    I have tried downloading a few fixes for this but still no luck does anyone have any information on this, the toshiba driver list doesnt include anything and most other references on the net are for the chipset

  • Full HD 3D with Mac mini/AMD Radeon HD 6630M graphics?

    I am able to output full HD 3D (1080p frame packing) with my 2011 MacAir. I used SwitchResX to define a new resolution of 2205 x 1920 for a 3D beamer that is connected via an HDMI adapter. The beamer recognizes this format as 3D and displayes the 2 packed frames as 3D.
    I wonder if the same is possible with the Mac mini with AMD Radeon HD 6630M graphics. It SHOULD work the same way, but only if this is ensured, I will buy one.

    Hi skampi77,
    here are the SwitchResX settings that work for an Onkyo AV receiver, and for an JVC 3D beamer (sorry for the German):
    I connected the 3D beamer either directly or via the Onkyo AV receiver to the HDMI or (via an adapter) to the DVI output of the Mac mini. And, indeed, the output is in both cases HDMI 1.4a.
    I can output full HD 3D images and video. For slide shows, I use a beta version of Graphics Converter v8 ( I asked Torsten Lemke to implement the frame packing format. Please contact him to get access to the beta version, even for testing purposes). This version has in the slide show settings a box "convert output to frame packing" that has to be checked. For video, I use Bino <http://bino3d.org>. In Bino frame packing output is one of the options.
    In both cases, one has to switch to the frame packing format before Graphics Converter or Bino is started.
    It is helpful to use one of the outputs (DVI or HDMI) for the "control screen", and the other for the 3D output that is switched to full HD frame packing format.
    I hope this helps.
    Cheers, Reiner
