Enhancer Upgrade with Radeon RX560/ x5000

[cpaek72]

Just installed the new enhancer update and had a Radeon RX560 already in the house and tried installing it and right after you see the x5000 boot up screen, the screen wipes to a white screen and hangs.

Anyone update to the new Enhancer and try out any of the AMD cards supported? Any help would be appreciated. Do I have to update the bios? or will the new drivers from the enhancer update take care of everything.

Well, I'm noticing the requirements say RX560(D). I have a the OC 4gb Asus Radeon 560.

[cpaek72]

Yeah, I thought so too. The D variant is just slightly slower..same card. So I looked inside the kickstart folder and the RadeonRX.chip is there. It's odd..

[cpaek72]

My bad, I thought kicklayout was a folder. I edited the ascii file and added RadeonRX.chip. Booted it up and still a white screen.

This is what it looks like now:
MODULE Kickstart/graphics.library.kmod
MODULE Kickstart/PCIGraphics.card
MODULE Kickstart/RadeonHD.chip
MODULE Kickstart/RadeonRX.chip
MODULE Kickstart/ATIRadeon.chip
MODULE Kickstart/3DLabsPermedia2.chip
MODULE Kickstart/3dfxVoodoo.chip

Hans, got it working! I just added the RadeonRX.chip.debug to the kicklayout and now it booted up. Thanks for all your help.

Just some quick observations for anyone thinking about getting the RX cards. OpenGL is really unstable and certain games like Quake II no longer work. 2D games seem to be working fine. I need to test more, but my sapphire 270x was a champ and played almost everything I threw at it. Maybe the drivers need some more time to mature.

[cpaek72]

Yeah, I have the Polaris Warp3d drivers, but games like Quake 2, Aliens vs Predator, Hexen will freeze or not boot with the RX560. I switched back to Radeon R9 270x  to test and everything works just fine. Not sure why Warp3D will not work with the rx560. I'm not completely versed on the Amiga side of things with video drivers, so I'm probably doing something wrong.

[cpaek72]

Ok that makes complete sense, but can you explain why my older Radeon r9 270x works with those older games? The logic just is bagfelong to me. Thanks for all the feedback.

[cpaek72]

i must have installed the older warp3d that’s why it works with non Polaris cards. I’ll download wazp tonight and give it a try.

Yeah, post your experience here. I'm curious about your enhancer update installation process and if your card is recognized without modifying the kicklayout.
