I have spent the last few hours searching and trying to install a driver for my Sapphire r7 250x GPU. Perhaps I am going about it the wrong way and I may just need to understand how to install drivers for Ubuntu.

My computer hardware:

MB : MSI 970A-G46

CPU : AMD FX 8320

GPU : Sapphire r7 250

RAM : ADATA DDR3 8gb 1800

SSD : ADATA SP900

Just to help any confusion on the GPU here is the webpage : http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1226&pid=2028&psn=&lid=1&leg=0

I think that the easiest way is:

  1. open System Settings

  2. choose Software Sources

  3. go to the last tab Additional Drivers

  4. choose the driver to install (the FGLRX one, not the post-release updates)

  5. press Activate

Then, put your password and that's it! Better restart your computer to enable the new driver.
