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.

I had to disable AMDGPU.dc for my multi-monitor setup to work with my R9 285. Is this getting fixed anytime soon?Leave a comment:

What are some caveats with your 5700xt? Freesync working ok on the 5700xt yet? I ordered a Gigabyte 5700xt then canceled later on in the day. I just felt, "not yet, wait for some verification from those brazen good ladies and gents diving into uncharted territory". I am at the point where I feel maybe I should wait at least until stuff is supported to the level of a rx580 and price drops.Originally posted by ObiWan View Post
I know the rx580 is one great gpu but am on a gtx 1070 right now and want an upgrade but I still don't feel the time is right just yet but think it's only a number of months away before stuff gets really solid for the 5700xt and cheaper.
Just wanted to know your experience at the moment as a current owner.
Thank you.Last edited by creative; 20 March 2020, 04:04 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: the work to get HDCP support ready for Renoir/Picasso...
Will this also include the various Navi GPU's, or is it limited to APU's?
i.e. Perhaps because it is easier to content-lock the video pipeline if that is a single integrated product (as first happened with kabylake), rather than discrete CPU+GPU.Leave a comment:
