Yes but have you installed the non-free firmware that is required by that driver?

Read the Debian wiki page about AMD graphics cards and follow the instructions.

Oh yes I know, I looked up apt install linux-firmare. I don't know if I mentioned it but my AMD graphics card's fan broke and I just removed it. I am now using a AMD A10 that a APU. It includes 6 graphics cores with the 4 CPU cores.

It works rather well at the moment.

What will I gain if I install the firmware drivers? The video problem was only in Chrome and only a few websites.

A video card that works properly.

Ubuntu and other distributions will install non-free firmware automatically but that goes against Debian's policy.

Also, firmware is not the same as driver.

This thread seems to have wandered off the OP. It is in danger of being locked. Each topic should have its own thread...

Thank you very much, I checked in Sypantic and saw the driver is already installed.

All's well!

Very true, it's just more trouble to start a new post for every issue relating to the original problem.

No worries, everything is working great.
