Looking to upgrade from AMD 480 to AMD 6600

Post by goof »

Looking to upgrade from AMD 480 to AMD 6600
Running Mint Mate 21.2 with kernel 5.15 (might update this to the 6.x stuff if it would improve support... )
Why the AMD 6600, not as power hungry, a bit of AMD fanboy, and those cards have drivers for Win7 should I ever need win support. And as far as I can tell the 6000's should be fine with kernel 5.15.


Should I expect any issues or things I need to update besides replacing my graphics cards?

Yes, it would improve support to be using a 6 series kernel with a 6600. There were a number of fixes for 6600's with the 6 series kernels. You can use Update Manager to upgrade to the 6.5 kernel.
