I have been offered a choice between these two cards, and I'm not sure which one will perform better in linux at this point. If it was Windows I would just go with the Nvidia and call it a day, but the driver situation on Linux has me leaning towards AMD. Is the AMD the right choice?...
My old monitor died recently and I bought a #CRG9 to replace it. I have a #AMD#Radeon 6500XT, I run #Arch#Linux with #Xorg and #EXWM and the #Compton/#Picom compositor. I bought the monitor for productivity issues as I'm not much of a gamer, the only games I play these days are Tagpro, a simple capture-the-flag browser game, and Chess.
Turns out that the mobile processor in this server is so new that #AMD hasn't released #ROCM libraries for the integrated GPU, a #Radeon 780M - GFX1103, yet. "New" is relative; AMD is, seemingly, terrible at releasing code to keep pace with hardware releases. To contextualize how terrible, ROCM just got support for the 7900XT in the last 3 months; this GPU was released in December of 2022. I wish external GPU enclosures weren't a million dollars.
My #AMD#Radeon is back on #Wayland on #Fedora 39 / GNOME 45; it feels smoother than it was in previous versions ☺️
Still accumulates lag over time though!
Unfortunately the #Linux kernel & #Mesa graphics stack don't provide the perf stack traces required to be able to profile the whole operating system, as observed with the "unwindable" lines in #sysprof captures 🤷️ (thanks to Christian's explanation in reply to my downstream ticket in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2241386#c2 !)
My shiny shitbox of random #rgb with the new GPU… I need to replace just one more thing. The CPU AIO is a 120mm radiator and that #Ryzen will boil it during summer…🤡😂 #AMD#Radeon#7900XT
Finally AMD #Radeon has new features before Nvidia #GeForce. You can now use frame generation in basically any game, with RDNA2, while RTX 3000-series still can't use frame generation in any game.
#Today I finally understood how to use the #Radeon#GPU Analyzer to at least get some idea on how #Shaders are executed. It doesn't support #OpenGL, but you can just use #Vulkan instead.
I learned that our target GPU, the Vega 11, has 256 #SIMD registers that can be shared across multiple instances of the same shader. So, if your shader needs less registers, the GPU can execute more of them simultaneously.
Nerd-Advice needed: Lots of software does not work on my old #MacBookPro (2011) anymore. Any Idea what to install? Simply #Debian? Or should I try #freebsd , #openbsd or #netbsd? Or something esoteric like Plan 9? The device in question is not in heavy use, rather a kitchen-computer for simple tasks.
@jedes_jahr_ein_neues_protokoll The CPU and iGPU in the 2011 MacBook Pro (13", 15", and 17") should be well supported under #OpenBSD. I don't recall if the mobile #Radeon in the 15" & 17" support #OpenGL acceleration under the latest MESA drivers or not, but should work fine in #X11.
One of the most iconic GPUs ever released, the Radeon 9700 Pro would go on to be the main driver for many in the era of games such as Half-Life 2/Source Engine, Doom 3, FFXI, City of Heroes, and World of Warcraft.
Ugh, FINALLY got around to getting the last few drives installed in the new rackmount chassis. Figured while I was at it to go ahead and swap out for a beefy #ryzen7 with integrated #radeon graphics since it's a slim build! 😎
#proxmox is up and running, and before long, the #homelab will have another domain controller and some other dedicated #dev machines! 🙌🤘💯 :nixos: :windows: #server#programming
Sea of Thieves recently received a DX12 update, and performance has improved. At maximum graphics settings (higher than XSX), I am now getting 240 fps without frame generation. This is at FHD resolution, but at QHD it is around 160 fps, so I have adjusted it to the maximum resolution where I can keep it above 120 fps in every scenario. I am very happy with the update.
Nvidia 980 Ti 6GB, or AMD RX Vega 64 8GB?
