AMDGPU-PRO 16.50 Rolls Out With GCN 1.0 Support, FreeSync

[Xen0sys]

Pretty exciting release. Still going to wait for confirmations that it can run GCN 1.0's stable before trying it though. What OS versions will ship with this support?

Does this GCN 1.0 support include HDMI audio?

Great job AMD on the freesync support!! That's a major step closer to feature parity with the windows drivers.

Shame about the vulkan performance regressions though.

I can't believe that Fiji is still identified to have just 14 CUs under OpenCL

It continues with the same performance and in some cases even loses to the previous driver. This is a joke!

Yeah, sorry I couldn't answer your "when will SI support appear in AMDGPU-PRO ?" question yesterday...

Sounds like there are some Steam issues we still need to work through, maybe more, but at least it's in and being regularly tested now. Our testing focus for the first SI release was on the smaller chips that the workstation group uses (so Cape Verde was probably the biggest) but we're going to try to repro what Michael saw and he might be able to test with a smaller SI card.

At first I was excited to try but after I read page 1 and saw the benchmarks, I will not give it a try...

at first you should not use blob. but at second if you are using it, newer one has some bugs fixed

Performance? Which performance improvements are they talking about?
