piotrj3 was your CPU made before or after the Ryzen Linux segfault bug fix? (2017 production week 25 I think?)

NVIDIA Lands Fix To Avoid High CPU Usage When Using The KDE Desktop

Thing is AMD seems to have lower quality control recently both in CPU and GPU. Recently I was diagnozing a problem when Ryzen 1700x without any OC was unstable ... on 2 diffrent motherboards, 2 diffrent sets of RAM and powersupply way over the top. And honestly do I care about seting up nvidia driver right for a while or having ultra hot GPU and having fan noise? Well I prefer green team there.

Option "TripleBuffer" "True"
in the nvidia driver, then it triple buffers. Otherwise, it doesn't.

It is noticeable when playing games and when moving windows around. And that's at 120Hz. At 60Hz, it is clearly noticeable pretty much everywhere.

Originally posted by discordian View PostWell, with the OS driver I am not playing games...
Originally posted by discordian View PostCould be but is not for me, its a result of poorly matched Voltage regulators (unlikely as MSI is not known for that, the Geforce was a MSI aswell) or a chip that does a horrible job of limiting EMI.
Originally posted by discordian View PostFine, but not in my flat.
Originally posted by discordian View PostFor me the noise is a matter of RX570-or-not, while the crashes are RX570+Linux-or-not.
Like you said, AMD cards are power hungry. Using something like that is where you'll discover power supply problems. That's how it was for me back in the day.

Originally posted by discordian View PostThats a good one. I completely regret buying an RX570 (replacing a GTX 760), and now I am regularly dualbooting to Windows for anything that uses the GPU.
Electrical noise on the line out, OS drivers are way worse than Nvidias, and closed source aren't available for newer kernels. It does boot faster, other than that: eF it.

Originally posted by skeevy420 View PostAnd I have nothing but great things to say about my RX 580. The only Linux specific issue I have is having to try 3 different Vulkan implementations when I go to play games: AMDVLK, AMDVLK-Pro, and RADV. The only GPU specific issue I have is that MSI set the damn voltages up a little too high so my GPU requires an undervolt to run at full performance...seriously...stock voltages trigger thermal throttling and that results in horrible performance...
Originally posted by skeevy420 View PostFWIW, outside of AMDVLK-Pro, you really aren't missing anything that important from AMD's closed source driver in regards to playing games. Also, a distribution like Suse Tumbleweed or Manjaro is a good idea to use (Manjaro user myself) since Polaris (and Vega) cards really like rolling release distributions.
Originally posted by skeevy420 View PostElectrical noise could be a sign of bad grounding, your power supply going out, etc
Originally posted by skeevy420 View PostOn my PC before last, I started getting the electrical noise a few months before my PS went out. Replaced it and it was somewhat fixed but I could tell that there were grounding issues still. Ended up having to run new 110 to fully fix it. Had to run wire in my current house to fix grounding issues too. You'd be surprised how many places have old style 2 wire with fake grounds.
Originally posted by skeevy420 View PostAnyhoo, anecdotally, I've noticed Linux exacerbates these issues more than Windows does -- each time above where I'd hear the grounding noise, it was only when running Linux. It wasn't until it hit the fan that Windows acted up.
