Polaris still sold strongly. Number two most sold card om Amazon right now. The goddamned Nvidia Gt710 is number one in sales, LOL.

Initially I thought the stuttering was some Linux gaming bug until I realized the problem was in Windows also, and then I discovered the fan issue. It's probably time for me to upgrade the card. But given that there aren't really any new games that interest me these days, I just haven't wanted to.
ZeroRPM sounds like a great idea though. Any graphics chip that requires a spinning fan for just regular desktop apps and video playing is clearly designed poorly.

do you know on which Kernel the patches are based upon?
I would like to build a Kernel myself with it, so I can test it with my RX480.
I tested with 5.8.x, but most of the patches did not work.

Until 4K FreeSync monitors and TVs become commonplace and the AMD driver supports HDMI FreeSync, more people will be targeting 1080p60 than any other resolution and that's where the Polaris cards shine for gaming...470/570+.

The thing is, some people use hardware until they cannot anymore. Not everybody has the urge to upgrade to the new shiny thing as soon as they are released.
