Uhhhhhhhhhhhh? AMD Bugs?

I uhhh uh I really have ZERO clue what has happened in the last 4 hours.

Is there something I should do? Ubu Mate 16 is lookin reeeaaal good atm but I'll be dead before I switch by force.

Netrunner Rolling (Arch/Manjaro) - Catalyst Driver

I updated last night but it wasn't anything graphical. I had a crash this morning VERY similar if not dead to exactly like the crashes I had a few months back with my 250x when the drivers were raped in november.

??????????

oh yea, I just watched a video on the youtube channel, "The Know" did you download some hacks? because if you did, then you'll see/do strange things. They made some hacks that make you do strange things in order for steams anti-cheat software "VAC" to detect you and ban you for cheating.

???????????????? No? I don't even think any of that bullshit runs in linux.

Firstly: Some mostly white-hat stuff going on there! Good job to that guy.
Secondly: Graphics glitch because of some driver problem does not equal hacking!

@FaunCB
That is your average AMD for Linux graphics issue. Not sure what causes this but it is happening to me with my cursor on the Mint desktop (Crimson for Linux would help a lot).

Man I wish I could help, I have no clue

Crimson drivers, named that for the fact that all you will be seeing is your crimson red rage as you try to use it.

270x to boot into Linux and Fury passed on to virtual Win7. I hate my machine a little bit right now. The rage was/is real!

Why don't you try the new AMDGPU-PRO drivers (beta), they should work on ubuntu16 minus the DMS module (you don't need it). Surprised you can even get the catalyst/crimson drivers running as those stop running on kernels past 4.1! (Don't expect AMD to update cat/crim as they are redundant now).

Well its arch is there a specific package build I can get? xD. Also this is the driver that comes with the os because it works. Some of the devs have had problems getting the new drivers to work on their systems so they have been working on catalyst so that it would work up to 4.5 though I assume it might work on 4.6 woth even worse results.

Edit: Does amdgpu-pro even work with a 370?

Wait is amdgpu itself stable now?

Stable? yes I guess so, functional/perform well? not particularly, at 1080p its ok for some games.

And no AMDGPU-PRO is only in DEB format atm, no source build tarball unfortunately. Also the PRO series is infact just AMDGPU driver (the open one) with extensions to any OpenGL version/vulkan API above it. You get identical performance most times compared to the Open Stack because of this.

AMDGPU open driver supports OGP4.2 atm, soon 4.3 (this includes the RadeonSI driver)

Check out what me and @Jeol have been bugfixing over here https://forum.teksyndicate.com/t/the-small-linux-problem-thread/75538/159

mYbe you'll have an idea we won't have.

I don't know if this will help you but I'm still going to say it. amdgpu itself is running very well for me at least (been using it since like 4.3 or 4.4, cant remember) and powerplay in 4.5 made it much faster though something I've noticed is that (at least in Borderlands 2) amdgpu is slightly faster than catalyst but has slighty more incosistent framerates and amdgpu+powerplay has much higher framerates but its framerates are also quite a bit more incosistent. I think the amdgpu support for your gpu is already enabled in the arch kernel. I've also tried installing amdgpu-pro from the aur but it failed miserably. Overall I can reall recommend trying out amdgpu

I have a 370 though and with every combo I tried to get it to work my card just isn't written in yet (specifically a Curacao XT).

looks like your gpu is overheating, kinda strange since people play CS GO even with no graphics card.

Nope. As far as I can tell it just isn't supported.

Just saw this:

Once again I don't if this helps but it might just be the solution

the open source drivers are pretty okay now. I only say 'okay' because some cards do better than others. I have an R9 390 and is actually pretty solid. Runs CS:GO at 4k like a champ.

I'd say its worth trying out the latest mesa drivers, and because you're on Arch/Manjaro, you can add the unofficial mesa-git repository to get the latest 11.3 devel packages.

Are you sure you didn't swap out your graphics card for LSD?

Thatd be more fun
