Then I have to say, open source AMD drivers is a double edged sword. If AMD thinks being open source means it can just give up its software efforts in favor of "the community" - i.e. people volunteering personal time here and there..... then that's a bad outcome. It's probably better to have closed source drivers that are fully the responsibility of AMD for better or for worse.

>It's probably better to have closed source drivers that are fully the responsibility of AMD for better or for worse. No, it is not. And I would automatically switch away from AMD GPUs if it became like this. Documenting the hardware is the most important task, and AMD is doing it. There's also the implication they don't fund developers. This is utterly false, although they're not the only party funding them, with e.g. Valve being a significant contributor today.
