Which AMD Radeon R9 370X driver should I use?

CraftHumster · 2024-09-12 19:26:35

I am using an AMD Radeon R9 370X graphics card. But from the official wiki on choosing a driver for AMD graphics cards, I still don't understand which driver I need: amdgpu or radeon?

If I can provide information, what kind?

Generally to use more modern features (vulkan which is required for performant proton/wine support) you will want to use the amdgpu driver. There are some things that are still lacking compared to radeon (... analogue connector support will break), but they are unlikely to be more relevant than the gains you get from amdgpu

What exactly should I do to install it (well, except for sudo pacman -S mesa)? I'm completely confused by the wiki and its explanations!

Use https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU … K)_support to specify amdgpu for your card. The driver is part of the kernel.

Note from the linked secion above, all of these describe ways for the same end goal, it's sufficient to do a single one of the subheadings.
