Radeon HD7770

I have xorg-server of the latest versions and xf86-video-ati from the official repository.
Command:

[sergey@sergeyM ~]$ glxinfo |grep direct
Если: Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig

Reinstalled xorg-server and:

[sergey@sergeyM ~]$ glxinfo |grep direct
direct rendering: Yes
    GL_ARB_derivative_control, GL_ARB_direct_state_access,
    GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex, GL_ARB_draw_indirect,
    GL_ARB_map_buffer_range, GL_ARB_multi_bind, GL_ARB_multi_draw_indirect,

Now there was a problem with Photoshop CS6.
Images are opened with strips. I had not this problem, when direct-rendering  not worked.

Which version of xorg-server and xf86-video-ati must i have that get the maximum performance of the video card?

Re: Radeon HD7770

Almost every driver uses direct rendering now a days, please post glxinfo | grep -i opengl .

lspci -k    output would help to get an idea what hardware you have.

Re: Radeon HD7770

looking good, allon .

Depending on applications you run you could try blacklisting the radeon kernel module and switch to amdgpu.
Some games, especially the ones that use vulkan will then run better.

Maybe I'm missing something, but Mesa has been at a higher level in Arch for some time. Is your system fully updated?

Re: Radeon HD7770

And my video card will fully support amdgpu?
I read that mesa works if the xf86-video-ati driver does not work or is not installed.
What will be better, install the mesa and remove everything else, or install xf-86-video-ati or amdgpu with the addition to the kernel amdgpu or radeon modules?

Re: Radeon HD7770

A simplified Linux graphics stack looks like this :

1. kernel module

2. Direct rendering management

3. OpenGL / OpenGL ES / EGL / GBM / Nine       etc provider

4. graphical environment

For current amd videocards using opensource drivers this becomes :

1. radeon OR amdgpu kenrel module
2. libdrm
3. mesa
4. X or wayland

xf86-video-* play their part in 4 and are independent of the used kernel module in 1.

TL;DR :
keep mesa installed, X normally has no problem with choosing between xf86-video-ati and xf86-video-amdgpu .
