AMD Begins Focusing On Bug Fixes For Linux 5.7 Graphics Driver Code

[ObiWan]

What are some caveats with your 5700xt?

I have no problems with my 5700XT (5.5.10, Arch, KDE, mesa-git, llvm11, aco) but I do know that other still have issues.
(Freesync is working fine for me)

Saaaweet! Running Manjaro myself. What brand and model?

Thanks!

Ready and prepared to drop in a R9 4900x (after release) into this bad boy. Will be going nuts with openbox then.

Looking at the tear down over at Gamers Nexus I am actually pretty impressed looking at that particular AIB. Looks well engineered.

pieman Back when I used Slackware circa 2002-2005 I saved my X11.conf or what ever it was called after writing one for a—was it an Elsa Gladiac Geforce 2 gts? Can't remember. So yea I feel your pain. It does look like you installed quite a bit of stuff. Yeah, that was my curiosity was hmm how to setup the xorg stuff.

Isn't there a linux equivalent of wattman? I would actually think AMD has a lot more stuff to control your GPU. To be honest I am not really that impressed with nvidia's control panel but it is still good, just not as comprehensive as all the bells and whistles that comes with the windows one. Yes I did generate the config for my 1080p freesync display but that was out of laziness and the values it generated /etc/X11/mhw.d/nvidia.conf

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "Acer XFA240"
HorizSync 180.0 - 180.0
VertRefresh 48.0 - 146.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection

You can always slap one of your old nvidia cards back in and generate a script with the nvidia utility and save it to extrapolate from for an AMD card. I may actually have an easier go at all this...maybe, due to Manjaro's hardware detection and installation kit.

This all is giving me the itch to just order a 5700xt just for the fun of figuring all this stuff out. I know I need to wait though, I would like to see price drops and a current navi refresh. Big Navi from the rumors I am hearing may actually finally destroy Nvidia's lead before they can even release their newer technologies for desktop.

Here is this too.

It looks like enabling/disabling freesync is a matter of writing some short shell scripts then just ./fsyncon or ./fsyncoff. in your home/username directory.


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I enjoy listening to level 1 techs on youtube while at work.

Wendell is cool. None of the X570 boards he checked out though were in my price range.

I settled on an Asus Prime X570-P board due to its beefy VRM array and silent Delta Superflo L10 chipset fan rated at a minimum of 60,000+ hours with non-leaking oil recycling complex for fan bearing (Insane engineering in such a tiny space). Thinking the capacitors would degrade before that time is up. Has the same lan as my Prime Z270-P board. I like the no frills high performance boards with ridiculous VRM setups. I learned the hard way from experience with a 970-A MSI board and vowed never again a weak VRM section on a main-board.
