Is it mandatory to manually configure the gpu in config? Radeon

kaito96

I've been cruising through the forum and have seen multiple threads regarding needing to change the config file to have it see Nvidia drivers I was wondering if it was also necessary for Radeon GPU's ?
currently on an old core2quad Q6600, 4GB ram, R7 250x GPU for my Batocera box.
Thanks in advance!

The change in the config-file (remove of "#" in front of the line #nvidia-driver=true" in the recalbox.config-file, which is located in the root of the drive, where you installed batocera) is only mandatory, if you use a nvidia gpu.

For AMD/ATI GPU's you only have to be aware of this:
"Ati / HDMI audio output"

joinski So if I was using an Nvidia GPU and then went back to integrated AMD graphics, do I have to re-configure the file? Thanks!
