XFX RX 580 8GB in X5000

I have my new X5000/40 completely built except that I'm lacking a graphics card. I chose the XFX RX 580 8GB and tracking shows delivery is expected tomorrow, on Christmas Eve. What version of the radeonrx.chip driver is everyone using with the RX 580 cards? Anybody else got the 580 by XFX?

I also have installed an old ESI Juli@ PCI sound card. Hoping that and the graphics card work out.

First boot coming on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, hopefully!

@mbrantley

The Juli@ works fine on my X5000.

@mbrantley

Are you going to follow any specific instructions while setting up RX card? If you will, can you please share link? I have Gigabyte RX 570 sitting around and paln to install in my X5000, struggling to find time to do so and instructions will help. Thanks!

@mbrantley

Use AmigaOneX5000/40 with XFX Radeon RX580 8GB with AmigaOS4 and Enhancer Software 2.2 + Update RadeonRX_V2.12; NovaBridgeV54; minigl. Everything works great :)

Recommend Sound Blaster Audigy Fx.

The latest public version of RadeonRX.chip is v2.12. You will need to create a new boot image with this on if you do not already have one - you can follow this guide on how to do this.

As I'm not sure how much you know already I will add a few things here if you or anyone else needs help in the future.

You will also want to make sure you download a few extra things and add them to your boot image, to sidestep other issues you get with new X5000 AmigaOS installs. These should be installed in the following order.

https://www.hyperion-entertainment.com ... oads?view=files&parent=36 (AmigaOS4.1 FE Update 2)
https://aminet.net/package/util/libs/AmiSSL-4.12 (Install before v5.18)
https://github.com/jens-maus/amissl/re ... /5.18/AmiSSL-5.18-OS4.lha
http://codebench.co.uk/amiupdate_website/files/AmiUpdate.lha (latest version that allows you to save username/password plus many other fixes)
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfil ... twork/browser/odyssey.lha
http://amistore.net/install/ (Amistore - if you want to download and install the latest Enhancer software instead of doing it from image/cd as the driver for the X5000 network ports is only included in Enhancer)

After all that, set up your sound and network, use Amiupdate to get the system up to date, and have fun!

@derfs

Where can Enhancer 2.2 license owners get this RadeonRX version 2.12?

Mine is 2.11 from the original CD and download I did with AmigaKit in October 2023 when I attended Amiwest.

Did it get updated since then?

I been waiting for Enhancer 2.23 but have not see that as of yet.

If your copy of Enhancer has been added to your Amisphere account then it can be downloaded via Updater.

You can find the latest versions of available files from Updater by going to https://www.amisphere.com/updater/

@derfs

Thanks... yes after I asked the question I played around and tried Updater and it did see it there, so I do have it now.

@derfs

Thanks for above links and reminder! I actually have everything prepared, who knows when, and completely forgot about it. I think I didn't do anything at the time I have everything in good order as I was looking if upgrade can be done without re-installing AOS. Cheers!

Thanks, everyone. Hopefully I'll have my graphics card in hand very soon and all will work. Will report how things go.

Regarding the recommendation for the Sound Blaster Audigy Fx, is the driver for this currently available or was that the one that was pulled from distribution?

For now, I'll see how I like the venerable ESI sound card.
