Good morning all,
I am trying to install a Radeon HD8570 2GB grapics card on my Optiplex 7020 SFF desktop.
I've tried all permutations and combinations (AMD site and other third party drivers) and so far no luck. Can you please help which driver I need to download and proceed further?
My problem is: If I plugin the DVI or HDMI cable to the ports on graphics card the monitor goes blank. When I plugin the cable to original port on desktop it resumes again. The fan is spinning on the GPU.
Here are some additional details:
1. My system:
something@anything:~/Downloads/fglrx-15.302$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal
2. The drivers in my downloads folder:
something@anything:~/Downloads$ ls -altr
total 181084
-rw-rw-r-- 1 something something 14612 May 12 18:55 amdgpu-install_5.4.50405-1_all.deb

3. The output of AMD driver's presence is:
something@anything:~/Downloads$ sudo lspci | grep AMD
