Hi,
Does anyone have any good/bad experience with this graphics chipset:
On-motherboard AMD Radeon HD8200 R3 series
I was offered a reasonable price for a system using it, but really don't
want to have to deal with something that's going to be pain.
Last year I purchased a motherboard with onboard AMD graphics. A real
nightmare.
Check the AMD site for support for the video card.
As it turned out, AMD dropped support for the chipset and their web site
states to get a new graphics card.
I would get full lockups of the X-graphics using the open source driver.
Keyboard was useless. X-window was a frozen window of what was on the
screen. I could move the mouse pointer around the screen but no action.
This occurred anytime I was going through a directory of images or
videos. Very frustrating.
I could ssh into the system and close down programs but I still had to
reboot to get graphics working again. Never had time to try to debug it
but with AMD web site saying that there were no drivers and to upgrade
the video card, I just didn't feel it was worthwhile.
Purchased an nvida GeForce GTX 960 card and put it in. No issues since.
I would have to do a reboot to know the onboard video.
Unless you want to use as a server, I would avoid it.
