I've tested this card's compatibility with almost all mainstream linux distros to find that the catalyst driver versions 9.11 and 9.12 (and the hotfix as well), while claiming to support this card, actually do not support the Radeon HD 5770. If someone is telling you otherwise, they are either lying or poorly communicating that they are using the driver on a Microsoft Operating system.What I have not tested, is support in the Red Hat Enterprise, OpenSUSE, or Ubuntu distros as the version of catalyst for these distros is a special build tailored to those specific distros ( and is designed not to work with other distros). Why, oh why, would AMD promise to fix the proprietary attitude that almost wiped ATI out of the industry (which necessitated their buyout) only to follow up with the exact same kind of customer-alienating behaviour /UHopefully I'm reading your post incorrectly. I think you said that 'you tested on all distros except the ones that the driver claims to support'.

Hello, I want to buy an ATI video card for my system, see signature. G15 keyboard quality spotify 2017 bluetooth ergonomische. Using Clover and I have two partitions, one with Mavericks and the other with Yosemite. My SMBIOS is MacPro5,1 and Id like to use an ATI 5770 or 5870 but before purchasing would like to know if it is compatible and / or how much.

The version of Catalyst for those distros is.not. a special build; quite the opposite in fact. The release notes say that those distros.are. the ones supported and that the driver.may. work on other distros.You are also saying 'designed not to work with other distros' when you probably mean 'not tested on other distros'. I have noticed several threads online, specifically this forum, where Linux users are misleadingly talking about how well their Radeon HD 5770 is working in their linux systems, failing to mention that they're talking about dual boot setups and also failing to mention that the performance they're talking about is on a Microsoft system.Sometimes people assume that if they got something working and someone else fails to get the same thing working it must be a user error.

You seem to take the opposite approach and accuse anyone who does have a Radeon HD 5770 card working on Linux of lying.I'm sorry that you didn't get your Radeon HD 5770 working on Linux, but I have no reason to doubt the claims of other Radeon HD 5770 owners who do have their card working on Linux. Especially since I have a Radeon HD 5750 that is also working on Linux. While it's not working 100% to my liking (for instance XvBA is till FUBAR here) it is certainly NOT a paperweight.

Hopefully I'm reading your post incorrectly. I think you said that 'you tested on all distros except the ones that the driver claims to support'.No, I said I've tested their drivers on most of the mainstream distros to find that only proprietary or commercial distros were 'officially' supported.The issue is that in the past the drivers have been pretty distro independent; In fact, almost all linux software is pretty distro independent. That's the beauty of linux (unless, of course, you're dealing with intentionally exclusive drivers from ATI as is their track record that they are doing everything they can to earn).

I'm completely new to linux mint and I have just installed linux mint 19.1 but when I tried to install my amd radeon hd 5670 drivers from the driver manager it said no proprietary drivers are in use so I tried to download them from the official site and I downloaded this zip file (amd-catalyst-15.9-linux-installer-15.201.1151-x86.x8664.zip) but I don't know how to install it so please if anyone knows how to install it please tell me how step by step because I am completely cluelessif this is going to help my pc name is optiplex 3010. Sat Mar 02, 2019 2:59 pmAnd the open source 'radeon' driver is already installed standard with Mint?Yes. And the thing I always like to point out in these threads is that AMD contributed heavily to the 'radeon' driver when it dropped support for the Catalyst driver on Linux and that it as such performs at about the same level as Catalyst ever did. There's differences certainly in hybrid graphics situations, but if you are a normal user don't just assume that a proprietary, closed-source driver would be better for you; it isn't generally. Steam says no, or not natively at least, but not due to your graphics card and/or driver but simply due to no Linux version of it existing. If it did/does, it would run fine. I'm using older Radeon HD cards myself (5770 and 6850) and haven't found there to be a significant difference with Windows for games/things for which a native Linux version exists (although I'll add to that that I'm rather decidedly not a gamer, most definitely not an FPS person).Getting the game running through Wine or alike is not something I could help you with; others probably can.

Egalax touch not working windows 10. Hi Ziad, & RemonK, etc.It is not recommended to try and install AMD proprietary drivers unless they are current. But, you could install updated video drivers using various PPA's which Steam recommends and from what I have read work very well.

Always update your system afterward and reboot. See my quote box below on how to install.

You can also use the 'x-swat' PPA instead of the 'oibaf', but the 'oibaf' is very current.To install these using the PPA method, open a console terminal, type in, or copy & paste, each line below one by one: Click 'Select All' above command, right click the highlighted command, select Copy (or Ctrl+Insert), click in the console terminal window, and right click paste ('Shift+Insert' or 'Ctrl+Shift+v'), repeat for each command.

If you these days have VT-d and two GPU's one of which can be dedicated to a Windows VM then everything works great through KVM; if not, everything works effectively not at all.In which sense also I find it to be masochist to even try Windows-gaming of anything much beyond the DOS era on Linux if you don't have a setup as above, which I from the HD5770 derive you have not.

Many native Linux titles are available these days but if you have a want for Windows-gaming, just use Windows, on a secondary machine or if need be a dual-boot, and ignore everyone telling you you need not since all's working fine though e.g. I've yet to encounter a situation where that's actually true; normally Windows-gaming on Linux just sucks anus plain and simple.

But that's not free.If you have a lot of computer resources a really fast and good multi-core CPU and a lot of system memory (8-16gb +) and a very good video card with its own GPU and video memory, then you could use Virtualbox to run anything MS Windows related including Games. Or as was also stated, just dual-boot MS Windows and run that for the MS Windows only games.Hope this helps.

Since i'm not that gamer anymore i did not upgrade my graphic card the last time. So that probably IS the bottleneck. But reading all the info, seeing what i have to do for this, knowing the bottleneck, i think a dual boot is the most easiest and best way to do it.Anyway i want to thank everybody who provided me with al the info!Edit: So for me this topic is SOLVED!
