AMD Radeon HD 4890 On Linux Review
|
Posted on Thursday, April 02 2009 @ 12:41:12 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck |
With the launch of the Radeon HD 4800 series in June of last
year, AMD made an evolutionary leap in their Linux support. For the
first time, when introducing a brand new graphics processor (the RV770)
it was greeted by same-day Linux support, compared to the past where
Linux users had to wait many months for any new level of support. Not
only was there this Linux support via the Catalyst driver, but there was
even open-source support in the X.Org driver the very same month. In the
months that followed, they then introduced CrossFire support, OverDrive,
and other features to put their Linux Catalyst suite closer to their
Windows driver. This morning AMD is announcing a high-end refresh of the
RV770 GPU that will be known as the RV790 and is found in the Radeon HD
4890 graphics card. Is AMD continuing to play ball with Linux? We will
tell you this morning as we look closely at the ASUS Radeon HD 4890 on
Ubuntu Linux.
