Hi, as you can from see from my previous posts I installed Linux in all my machines. Now I have a PC with an I5 6500 (with Mint on it) and I’m upgrading the GPU. So, do I just open it put the new one and connect the cables? Or do I have to do some thing first? Thank you for all your help.
Not really.
If it’s the same brand (AMD>AMD or Nvidia>Nvidia) the same drivers you were already using should pick up the new GPU.
If you’re switching, you can uninstall the nvidia driver if switching to amd, and you’ll have to install it, if switching to nvidia.
On some distros you may have to install vulkan-radeon to get vulkan support on amd.
I’m swapping a Radeon 480 with a 5700xt. It should have the right drivers.
