AMD's gaming graphics business looks like it's in terminal decline
AMD's gaming graphics business looks like it's in terminal decline
There's no getting round it, the Radeon RX 7000 GPU family looks like a disaster.
You're viewing a single thread.
Maybe if they weren't playing stupid games with the open source Linux graphics driver it would help. I know I won't be upgrading to a newer AMD card until that mess is properly sorted.
I thought the driver was in a decent place, is that not true? Where is the best place to read about the situation.
Me, too.
Same, and I thought that on the other hand Nvidia drivers were a mess
You are correct.
7000 series is a shitshow. Check out Mesa git.
Instead of telling people to check out a huge and highly complex codebase, why don’t you just link to specific issues?
I have a 7900XTX and have been playing exclusively on Linux for 8 months without any major issues and with excellent performance. I can even play CP2077 with ray tracing if I reduce the resolution one notch. Granted, RT is still pretty choppy and stuttery but that’s never been a high selling point for AMD.
Yeah, my 7800XT works just fine, albeit with a newer kernel than the one that Mint would run otherwise.
Ah of course. I have the latest kernel and latest Mesa. But that’s to be expected, since these are new-ish products!
Latest? Who's got time for all that nonsense? I just grabbed 6.6.6 (the first game I played with it was Doom Eternal, naturally) and I'm gonna call it good until there's a compelling reason to update.
Lol yeah that’s fair. If it works, it works!
I kept up-to-date as I was waiting for a driver fix to the OC and fan curve interfaces so I decided to track the Liquorix variant.
Here’s a link to my setup in case you’re curious! :)
What is the mess you are talking about?
I switched from nvidia when the 6000 series of AMD GPU came out, and it made all my graphics issues go away, no joke. Nvidia's drivers are in a much worse spot these days.
