Hi Timothy,
in case this Radeon video card is integrated in CPU, would you share
your experience with it as usability and performance?
Kind regards
Georgi
The integrated Radeon Graphics performs great. I play openMW, TES IV Oblivion and TES V Skyrim with CrossOver Office on the highest video settings and they run like a champ! Without the Non-Free blobs you only get a resolution of 1024x768. With the non-free binary blobs you get 1920x1080. HDMI Audio does not function on Debian 11 due to the kernel and drivers being too old. Everything works well with Debian Testing and Non-Free Drivers. I transcode a lot of video into Matroska Theora format and the transcoding speed is great.
