wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run
sh amd-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run

Then choose to build package for your detected distribution. Then you can install the .deb package with

sudo dpkg -i fglrx_8.930-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb fglrx-amdcccle_8.930-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb fglrx-dev_8.930-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

    i have followed the steps from the links Is my ATI graphics card supported in Ubuntu? and How can I enable hardware acceleration for an ATI Radeon HD?

    my vainfo output is

    libva: libva version 0.32.0
    
    Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
    
    libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
    
    libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_drv_video.so
    
    libva: va_openDriver() returns 0
    
    vainfo: VA API version: 0.32
    
    vainfo: Driver version: Splitted-Desktop Systems XvBA backend for VA-API - 0.7.8
    
    vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
    
          VAProfileH264High               : VAEntrypointVLD
    
          VAProfileVC1Advanced            : VAEntrypointVLD
    

    which is the same as in the post above but i have choppy video even playing 720p. Graghics in System info display this

    Driver VESA:PARK
    Experience Standard

    GL_ARB_draw_indirect, GL_ARB_draw_instanced, 
    GL_EXT_copy_buffer, GL_EXT_copy_texture, 
    GL_EXT_direct_state_access, 
    

    The output of sudo lspci | grep VGA is:
