Linux 4.15-rc1 Kernel Released

Do SI cards benefit from amdgpu.dc=1 now or will be in the future ?

I have a SI 7870 in a myth/steam box and with initial usage I haven't noticed any adverse side effects with running 4.15-rc1 with amdgpu.dc=1.

More likely it is that gnome is not compatible with Mesa. Or buggy configuration in the distro kernel. Use a custom kernel, Oibaf ppa Mesa dev and Xfce. My Ryzen 5 1600 & RX560 PC works rock solid, now for second day. I have played several hours Tomb Raider 2013 and Portal 2. Disable standby features from the kernel, turn you computer off when you are not using to make components last longer. A custom no debug kernel with ssd and Xfce boots ultra fast and shuts down immediately.

No, setting gamma/color-temp is broken. Here is the patch which should fix it, but it hasn't made it into 4.15-rc1:
