Now, if one of those could come under €100... :P

Find a profession that isn't fantasizing about being a sniper, a race car driver, or some alien on another planet to burn your life force away.
Create something. Anything.
What's a road with no one to drive on it?
I do make things all day, five days a week. Sometimes, I make things in my off time. Sometimes, though, I wanna see what awesome things someone else has made, and enjoy those things.
If everyone held your opinion, we'd spend our lives making things for the benefit and enjoyment of no one.

However with latest mesa I have noticed that some games (Specially Borderlands 2/Pre) now run much much better and the card doesn't get as hot.
I would love if besides improving Mesa there was some kind of way we could tweak the cards in Linux, as I'm sure I can make the card run fine if that was the case.

Originally posted by schmidtbag View PostIt seems not all 290s are equal. For example, Michael's 290 was un-testable for several months (maybe even over a year?), meanwhile mine ran flawlessly throughout that time. Perhaps for you, the GPU is increasing clock rates but the fan stays at its lowest speed. Without being able to dissipate heat quickly enough, it just powers off.
I agree, that would be very nice. Except for Nvidia "coolbits", we're greatly lacking any GPU tweak tools. Not even firmware editors or uploaders (though I'm sure the editors work in wine). At the very least, something to manually define the power profile and fan speeds would be nice.
Something I noticed on the 290 under Linux is that the shader and memory clock either run at lower values or the highest possible, never ever on the middle, this is the only card I have seen exhibiting this behavior, and only does it on Linux, my impression is that this is a dpm kernel bug of some sort.
In my current set-up with latest Mesa only heavy games like "Dying Light", "Shadow of Mordor" or "Witcher 2" will crash the 290, before it was any game if run for a sufficient amount of time (between 20mins and 1h)
Since the beginning setting the card to the lower DPM profile will make everything run dog slow but it will not crash, with this new mesa release all things run more fluid even on the lower profile.

This is similar to the Linux kernel not being able to read the CPU temperature on Ryzens... why? why do we always seem to have most of the fine easy to implement details missing.
