Finally getting some (closer to) mainstream video cards from AMD. Still feels overpriced but a lot better than $750 for a 7900xt.

    Meh, nothing like having the official AMD video drivers crashing several times a day on Ubuntu with a flagship Sapphire RX 7900 XTX. And if you’re extra lucky it will kick you out of the session too.

        Yeah I don’t think I’ve had a single crash with the mesa drivers after my overclock was dialed in. And I’ve ran some pretty janky stuff (like my vega 56 that was flashed with a 64 bios).

        Are you talking from personal experience? If so, I might give them a try.

        I tought AMD official drivers where the best option for graphics and performance.

            Nah, I may play around with raytracing in the future, but it’s not a must for me.

            Well, I will give the open source drivers a try, thanks.

        How is ROCm these days? I remember needing the official AMD drivers for OpenCL stuff a while ago and ROCm was in very early development.

          For ROCm you need the official drivers. For OpenCL, RustiCL (OpenCL implemented over Vulkan) works perfectly for me.

      How are Intel’s drivers? My new PC has an A750 because I like to live dangerously. It’s been great in Windows for the few games I want to play (the older stuff that has performance issues with Arc I’m largely not interested in or can play on my old PC)

        Intel has historically had very good Linux drivers. Last time I checked (8 months ago), there were still some bugs when the cards were new, but I’m sure they’re mostly ironed out by now.

        Sorry, I don’t know. I ended up with a full AMD build.
