AMDGPU-PRO 17.30 vs. Linux 4.13 + Mesa Git RadeonSI Benchmarks
I am pretty sure, that Michael will update the tests with NVIDIA soon, but so far, OMG, compare this results to the last NVIDIA runs! At least by performance AMD is absolutely competitive now and even wins in some tests clearly. If they finally get audio through HDMI running, we have a clear winner for Linux desktop systems hands down. Buy a card plug it into your PC, turn on and play. A dream comes true! Thank you guys for all your effort, you did a great job.

and sad that this zombie driver amdgpu-pro still do have relevance for some people.
we just need a open source implementation of the "OpenGL Compatibility Profile" stuff and then we can shut down amdgpu-pro forever even for the workstation.
Workstation things are a bit more delicate than games. AMD must provide always the same rendering output between drivers with the same input, so there are some restrictions which can be relaxed in open drivers which are "not guaranteed" to work the same way with each release.
are you open for a upgrade from the AMD RX-Vega-56 to the full version Vega64(4096 shader) if you get the money for the upgrade?
Still trying to find out from AMD clearly if I will be receiving any review sample or not, but do hope to get a 64 but regardless any tips are appreciated and if receiving anything from you will be sure to get a 64 if AMD does not send one out.
Pretty sure the GTX 1080 is the mining favorite atm because it has low TDP and high mining performance, pretty sure it beats the Vega cards pretty easily in that department for cost/energy/hashing math. The RX480/580 would probably be better if their prices didn't explode to 1080 levels.
The other thing about the AMD RX Vega release is its a forced bundle system, meaning you get bundled to buy ryzen and freesync which is going to REALLY suck for people like me who already have those things........... A big FU from AMD to pre-existing customers.....
