| I have received my Vision Tek Radeon 3D Hd 7750 card (slim profile) and downloaded the Radeon HD Southern Island drivers.
Could someone tell me in which order I need to prepare my system and install the card?
I understand that I need to install the SI drivers first, but my doubt is if that would affect the use of my SAM460ex while I find the time to do the actual installation of the card?
I will have a computer technician at a shop nearby doing the card installation, as I still don't feel comfortable messing around with the hardware. I will do this this Friday.
Please advise. Last edited by WeiXing3D on 02-Jul-2015 at 05:26 AM.

The 3D drivers can be installed before or after the card is fitted. |

I'm almost sure that I read somewhere that the recommendation was to install the drivers first, before the physical installation of the graphic card. _________________ Amiga 1200 fully loaded.

It does not matter if you install the Warp3D drivers before or after the hardware installation. Just make sure you reset the computer once you install them.

It's only important that you have the relevant 2D driver installed first, for obvious reasons. |

How can I know if I am running the latest RadeonHD drivers available for my SAM460ex, before I install RadeonHD Southern Islands? Is there any place to check for this?
I have downloaded and installed the update available for me at a-eon.biz secured site (RadeonHD.lha and RadeonHD.chip or RadeonHD-1.7 iso). Anything else?
I'd like to have my gfx card installed tomorrow, but need to make sure everything is OK before that.

If you have installed the version available at the A-EON site you have the latest version. If want to confirm it open a shell window and type "version RadeonHD.chip". |

Open a CLI/Shell and type: version radeonhd.chip full
You should get something like: RadeonHD.chip 2.10 ( 3-05-2015)
That's the version you are running (being loaded by kicklayout). |

I got RADEONHD.chip 1.7 (05/03/2015).
Should I need to download 2.10? It's another US$60+

You can get latest v2.10 at greatly reduced rate as you already own v1.7. You will see discount when you add it to your shopping cart in AMIStore. _________________ Amiga Kit Amiga Store Links: www.amigakit.com | New Products | A600GS |

That's a great relief. This upgrade is turning to be a money pitfall.

V2 offers faster video playback (eg. in MPlayer). Both 1.x and 2.x work with Warp3D. |

| UPDATE:
1. I downloaded and installed the radeonhd.chip 2.10; verified using shellc ommand. 2. Purchased, downloaded and installed Warp3D Southern Islands. I used the fully autoamted installation option. Then rebooted.
So how do I know the drivers were installed correctly?
My SAM460ex boots up fine and seems to be working fine.

Can you use resolutions higher than 1024x768? Do compositing effects (transparency/shadows) work? Same for games using Warp3D (eg. glQuake/2/3)?
If answers to these questions are YES, all is installed as it should be. |

Thank you for the answer, but please remember that I haven't yet physically installed the gfx card itself. And BTW, I was already using 1920 x 1080 ARGB32 with my HD monitor
So any other way to test?

Look at post 8, 9 and 10 above.
You should see V2.10 now reported as the version number.

I Trevor. Good to see you around.
Yes, I can see that radeonhd.chip now shows 2.10, but how do I know that RadeonHD Southern Island got installed correctly,considering that I haven't yet installed the new gfx card (3D HD7750)?

You're using the latest RadeonHD.chip driver, which supports the Southern Islands series (incl. HD 7750 cards). That's all that you need.

Thank you for the clarification.
Well, after installing Warp3D Southern Islands i got a message saying that installation was complete, but after swaping the old Gygabyte GV-4650C-GI, with my new Vision Tek HD 7750 PCIE 1GB GDDR5 SFF, all I get is a black screen.
Am I missing something? Did I forget to do something prior to swapping cards? Last edited by WeiXing3D on 04-Jul-2015 at 12:06 AM. Last edited by WeiXing3D on 04-Jul-2015 at 12:04 AM.
