There are ambiguous statements on this from Feral themselves. To avoid too much off-topic in this thread, there is one specifically about it.
Already use it but it's not really comparable to wattman on windows

Quoting: pete910I was kinda hoping that AMD's Wattman would come to us but I should doubt it will :(
Quoting: DisharmonicActually there's Wattman like functionality in 4.17
Yep! This is what I was referring to and I personally can't wait.

Initial wattman-like support
Taken from here [External Link], which is also referenced in the above phoronix link. Thanks Disharmonic.
I was referring to the actual program that's part on the AMD driver on windows, not the underling functions

Quoting: pete910Does the FE use have different clocks to the rx64 ?
Yes, The FE has higher base and boost clocks, though mine does throttle a bit unless I force the fans/undervolt (currently not possible on Linux - waiting for 4.17). After my exam I'm going to give it the liquid metal treatment to see if that improves things a little bit.
May be the difference then, Mines under water and rarely hit's the 50's even after a few hours, warmer weather it will I should think.

Our resolutions aren't that much different and yet there's ~30ish frame difference so it really makes me want to retry with Mesa 18. Might have to fire up Fedora/Ubuntu...AFTER my exam that is.
I know it's not a huge jump but actual number of pixels extra on your res is quite a few. Though going on you have a TR I would have thought you'd be closeer than 30 ish.

What I meant was: couldn't the site just fetch the twitter data, and render it statically in pure text with a link to the twitter entry on twitter? There is impossible to have cookie collected this way if the person does not click the link.
That's possible, sure, but it's another thing to do if we want it. Likely just not worth the effort :)

Quoting: pete910Hate to be that guy but,

We recently (read: finally) added the ability for you to delete your own individual comments. Was on the todo list for a long time, sorry it took so long. This will be rolled out to the forum too ASAP.
Don't actually agree with that tbh.
To be fair, most other sites allow you to do this from what I've seen and allowing users to remove their information is part of this new EU rule, so I do have to follow it.
Quicker we leave the better :P
