Rather disappointed that R9 290(X) won't be supported in the new Open Source drivers. Currently I have the 290 paired with a Corsair H100i closed loop cooling, unfortunately there's no option to do the same with R9 390(X) (yet).
However, the upside is that Linux as a viable gaming OS starts to become a real possibility.
PS. I also wanted to thank game developers who put the time and effort to port or made their game Linux-compatible.
- nhaehnle 11y agoWhile it's true that the R9 290 uses the older radeon kernel module, that older kernel module isn't going anywhere and is definitely still supported. What's more, a large part of the usermode driver ("radeonsi") is actually the same as for the newer cards.
