Gaphic Card for Sam440ep

@Fernecho

But do you look about the if the GPU M9 is using the radeon 9250 GPU to process the graphics too ?

for example, use the monitor output from M9 GPU and use some graphis bechmarks test program to look the GPU performance.

test with the 9250 pluged in the board, and with out it pluged in the board to look if the result is the same or if it is best with the 9250 pluged in the board.

with this we can know if the GPU work or not in team like a kind of crossfire.

Ok, I have installed the card and I have made the following tests with the program CubeBM.
The screen configured with the driver RADEON:

resolution : 1680x1050 32bits
-------------------------------------------------------------
Test without the card:
Output Motherboard DVI connector

13842 frames drawin in 17.1 seconds
1103 fps (0.906 milliseconds per frame)
817 fps (1.223 milliseconds per frame with swap)

--------------------------------------------------------------
Test with the card pluged in :
Output Motherboard DVI connector

14406 frames drawin in 18.2 seconds
1100 fps (0.908 milliseconds per frame)
802 fps (1.246 milliseconds per frame with swap)
-------------------------------------------------------------
The screen configured with the driver PCIgraphics :

Output Saphire Radeon 9250 DVI connector


When I attempt the test with the connected monitor to the card (driver PCIgraphics) then the system crash
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I believe that there is not difference, the system the two GPUs it doesn't use in team.



A greeting.

@Fernecho

interessante.

2 options.

the 2 card not work in team or the driver not work fine.

I make the second option consideration becouse the crash useing the card output.

Thkz for test it.

@Fernecho and all

I don't know if anyone else has run into this, but if I leave the 9250 plugged into the PCI slot and set U-Boot to use the internal graphics, the Sam freezes shortly after Kickstart is loaded and the WB screen never appears. Only after removing the 9250 am I able to get to WB.

@Valiant

Doesn't surprise me. I don't know whether it's meant to work or not, but on Windows PC systems with onboard and a gfx card, it's one or the other, you can't use onboard with a gfx card in the slot.
