MacBook Pro 2015 Ati Under Linux

Cochi1984 · June 20, 2020

Hi,

I am actually trying to get the best performance of my 2015 MBP under PopOS!

My problem is that it does not seem to be using both graphic cards and not the best performance of the ATI Radeon

Could someone help me clear this problem of my way?

According to lspci

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Venus XT [Radeon HD 8870M / R9 M270X/M370X] (rev 83) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

And to Apple

Intel Iris Pro Graphics
AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2GB GDDR5

Thanks in advance!!

Hi All I Believe I found a solution to improve a bit the performance:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers

sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade

reboot

This lines add a third party repo that contains some updated drivers and updates them.

As I said, I believe I should be able to be getting more performance from this VGA Card. I know that at least SpecOps The Line is working a bit better on Windows.

If someone knows a better solution I would be glad to try it out.

Big thanks
