Key caveat here is that it only works on AMD cards currently.
- ZacharyPitts 6y agoAah that’s a shame... but not surprising given Nvidias track record with Linux drivers
- wyldfire 6y agoMy, how the times have changed.
- SulfurHexaFluri 6y agoIts been like this for about the past 5 years since AMDGPU was added to the kernel. AMD cards are better for everything except compute where they failed to support the 5700 series.
- oehtXRwMkIs 6y agoCompute is pretty bad all around no matter what card, but it is egregious that their flagships aren't even supported by ROCm to begin with.
- ActorNightly 6y ago>AMD cards are better for everything except compute Ive heard this, but Im not convinced. Don't they have more memory, so while the processing is slower there is less fetching of memory outside of the card? Of course this would require custom compute kernels for same throughput like matrix multiplication, but still.
- corty 6y agoit is a driver and software problem with compute, the hardware is fine. things just don't work right
- snvzz 6y agoNext ROCm is supposed to support RDNA1/2. It's supposed to be out, and still isn't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- INTPenis 6y agoWhat does that mean? I have an RX5700 card in my Linux computer. I'm not very interested in benchmarks but it works well so far. I mostly play simple games like Dead Cells, Caves of Qud and such.
- SulfurHexaFluri 6y agoIt means nothing at all for gaming. The 5700/xt is a very good card for gaming on linux. Where it fails is things that use the compute functions (not vulkan) like blender and many neural network tools. Basically AMDs version of cuda called ROCm. They only support ROCm on a few of their cards while nvidia has cuda on everything on day one.
- pjmlp 6y agoHow I would like to use the OpenGL 4.1 support of fxglr instead of "here OpenGL 3.3 and not complain" from the open source driver.
- account42 6y agoradeonsi supports OpenGL 4.6 just fine.
- __turbobrew__ 6y agoCompute sucks on AMD no matter the OS. CUDA is so far ahead.
- barbecue_sauce 6y agoWell, at least my Windows 10 trial has a few more weeks left.
- vondur 6y agoDoes Windows stop running at that point, or does it just nag you with the text on the desktop?
- strbean 6y agoThere are some minor restrictions in addition to the nags. I think you can't change your wallpaper and some other silly stuff. You might also be limited in the types of updates you get.
- eznzt 6y agoAs far as I know you get all updates (and definitely all security ones). The "trial" never expires. If you're okay with the watermark and not being able to customise your desktop, you can use the trial forever.
- scintill76 6y agoIs it illegal, or contract-breaking etc., to run the "trial" forever?
- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoEULAs are not contracts.
- scintill76 6y agoOk, but the question is, would a legally-knowledgeable, unbiased person say I’ve done something legally “wrong” if I use Windows without entering a license key?
- tracker1 6y agoComments in op seem to indicate some are able to run on NV cards.
- netsec_burn 6y agoNvidia here, not quite there yet.
- ekianjo 6y agoRuns on nvidia too but nvidia takes a bigger performance hit
- foxhill 6y agoedit: just realised i replied to a comment i didn't intend to..! RTX2080Ti, ryzen 3800X, 32gb RAM, uninteresting vanilla ubuntu 20.04 install. i bought the game at midnight not thinking it’d work straight away, and it “just worked”. completely unexpected. that said: * frame rate is.. less than ideal (managing 20-40fps). i can hear the GPU isn’t too stressed because there’s basically no coil whine, so i expect this will improve over time. i set it to highest settings, though. * the character selection step had the player model under-illuminated. not impossible to use, but a lot more challenging. also the colour selectors didn’t look right. edit: some more infos, - i'm _not_ using the experimental proton build, rather GloriousEggroll[1]'s custom proton build. it's usually a bit ahead of proton in terms of support, and, most importantly for me, allows raw mouse input for games. - i have ran on both nvidia driver 450.80.02 and 455.45.01, and i've not really noticed a difference.
