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.
