Installed Ubuntu 14.04. How do I get it working with my new AMD R9 280X. When I run it I get garbage on the display

I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my Gigabyte A88X FM2+ motherboard and A10 7700K processor. Everything worked perfectly.
This system is dual booted with Windows 8.1 for gaming and I installed subsequently I installed an AMD r9 280X gpu.
Windows was easy. It kept working with the new card installed and I just needed to download and instal the driver. Reboot and it's done.
Ubuntu boots into a blank display. I enter the password and can log in. The menu on the left and bar at the top are visible but when I try to open an app, I get blocks and rubbish on the display.
My preference is not to remove the card.
So, my question is:
What would be the procedure I could follow where I can log in using a text based terminal and download and install the AMD drivers.
