Aah 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.
