During presentation Lisa said "AM4 is going to continue for long long time". I find it interesting to mention this just after emphasizing the longevity of AM5. Feels like either they are planning to maintain AM4 and ZEN3 as a budget platform far longer than I was expecting or some new SKUs are still coming for AM4. I'd love to see some ZEN3 IO + ZEN4c CCD stuff for example, with sane power limits and affordable price

For the same reasons a Windows user needs it for!
Except next to noone uses any of those panels, even in Windows.
Mostly useless bling bling.

Things should just work with no adjustments needed, thats convenience.
Originally posted by Danny3 View Post​​I bet some of them (like the GPU status, monitor info, link speed) could've been easily implemented on Linux too, if they wanted to!
Most of that information is there. Someone just needs to write a GUI for that...except noone seems to care at all.

Windows users have too in their native control panel to change the resolution and refresh rate, like on Linux, but AMD has also created a dedicated control panel for the GPU where they can see the GPU status, temperatures, usages, fan speeds, display info, link speeds, enable / disable the Zero-RPM, enable a FPS limiter and many other things.

I'm scratching my head on why you would need amd to make a control center when the work is already done. Have their limited linux developers focus on driver and hardware enablement in amdvlk and mesa/radv

Originally posted by albatorsk View PostTo an outsider like it it seems like there are several different drivers, or combination of drivers. Will I (most likely) need to upgrade to a newer kernel than what's included in Ubuntu 22.10 by default? What is "the RADV Vulkan driver". How does it relate to "RadeonSI Gallium3D", if at all? How do I figure out what I should use? Can both be installed at the same time? Do they provide the same functionality? Is RADV required for Vulkan? Does that driver also support OpenGL for all non-Vulkan titles? There's also something called AMDGPU and AMDGPU-PRO. How do they fit in with all this?
Originally posted by ALRBP View PostWell, ok, it "just works", only if your card is not too [old]. Otherwise, just upgrade or install AMDGPU-PRO.Last edited by jamdox; 03 November 2022, 09:11 PM.

I am so glad that you put your obligation to your son above all else Michael. You only have a few years to truly make a lasting impression upon him, and delay is simply not possible.
As parents all the other things in our lives, that we once considered so critical, must be reevaluated and placed in new perspective. Your son will one day realize and recognize and love you even more for whatever sacrifices you make. I know, as my son is 29 now. And remembers that the only times I stopped working were to care and have fun with him.
Great review by the way, the new cards look awesome!
