It’s not that I want a FOSS driver (although it’s better), but the AMD blob is said to be more trouble than the FOSS driver, and I don’t feel like switching drivers depending on the application/game I want to run… And FOSS support is one of the reasons to choose AMD rather than nvidia so if you remove that the RX 480 becomes less interesting.

Yeah, there were some raised eyebrows about the "no communication" part - Alex, Jammy and I have all talked about it.and we decided to see where we could get.

btw, best action to improve rate would be work on amdgpu for si, which is (surprise) open-sourcedLast edited by pal666; 20 July 2016, 05:22 AM.

at some time in the past foss amd driver didn't have video decode, video encode or other stuff. now it has everything except vulkan which is not used by any app yet. what makes people think vulkan driver will have different fate ?
