AMDGPU+RadeonSI now faster or the same as AMD's AMDGPU-PRO. Amazing change around. Next year should be interesting as tweaks happen and the RadeonSI is properly integrated with mainstream distributions. Straight out of the box performance with no driver hassle.
Not on the list yet for PRO and in the open one i think it is still experimental...I do not think there has been as update since the last time...
On the good news they did fix the AMDGPU versioning issues so now you can do a security update on the kernel without having to unistall the PRO driver first.
On AMDGPU and RX 480. Wayland on Ubuntu 16.10 gnome and Fedora 25 work and video in chrome works ie Youtube but all media video players show corrupt video. Is that what others are seeing?
AMDGPU-PRO 16.50 Rolls Out With Southern Islands Support, FreeSync
FreeSync 1.0: The AMD Linux stack finally supports FreeSync! You read that right, FreeSync is finally available for those using the hybrid AMD Linux driver stack and have a supported GCN GPU with capable FreeSync display.
This is gonna be great. The timing seems to be pretty good as well. Now we can get a Vega GPU and hopefully have freesync support with kernel 4.11 right after launch. Time for me to get a korean monitor paired with a vega card!
Can anyone actually make some kind of guide or tutorial or just advice list for installing gallium and amdgpu/radeonsi drivers with all req. libs&modules to be built. thanks
For Arch, add the Mesa-Git repo and install everything in it. It includes driver for both Intel and AMD stuff, but you probably only need one, so if you're using AMD, don't install the Intel stuff and vice versa. Then just use the system version of wine after a reboot and you're good to go.
it eventually broke my xorg when i tried it :S (i mean it worked standalone but when i tried updating mesa and installing gallium+dri3 it broke everything on reboot)
