I don't have a fucking clue why people buy their hardware.
But I respect the skill of their engineers, and the product made by those engineer is what I am paying for.

Like with Linux 4.9 on some of my cards powered by AMDGPU and at least with one of my 4K monitors, every 15~20 minutes it seems to like taking a really long blank or lose its signal for 1~2 seconds but without reporting any problems to dmesg, etc.
I resolved the problem by using an DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. I was not able to reproduce the problem with linux, because I wasn't able to run steam at the time after updating to Ubuntu 16.10. Is your 4K display connected via DP? If it's connected via HDMI, have you tried to use an DP->HDMI adapter?

Fedora will be the first major distro to ship with Wayland as a default next week....working on the Nvidia blob. This is a big hit to the AMD argument for many people who don't have this philosophical need for open drivers.
I tell you, that move is only a symptom that GNOME3 is desperately trying to get new usebase, because it is dying!

Originally posted by debianxfce View PostYou have to admit that amdgpu kernel driver is better solution than a separate kernel driver.

I have patched nvidia drivers for new kernels, max wait time have been 2 weeks. Nvidia is hiding information when not telling required kernel version in the changelog. You can not figure anything from the kernel or driver date. You can assume that nvidia updates fast, but when using the amdgpu kernel driver, it is automatically compatible.
