4x 5830 + 1x 5970 shouldn't be a problem. Sounds like your 5970 might be defective, which shouldn't be terribly surprising considering it's a 7 year old card.
Hi, thank you for the info.
I hope the card is still good, the fan spins up and it generates a small amount of heat and draws what looks like the power of an idle card.
I have not been able to get these working but they are not installing without errors so it is hard to
say.
amd-driver-installer-14.20-x86.x86_64.run
fglrx-dev_15.201-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01
amd-driver-installer-15.302-x86.x86_64.run
I will try the catalyst 15.9 driver.
Do i have to remove any previous drivers?
any advice on prerequisites to install this driver?
Thanks.
