The new driver compiled fine on mine with the 4.14 kernel that i'm on.
Did a quick test of metro rdeux on stock 290x @ 1440p

Anyone with a NV card do a comparison, I thought I had done some with previous driver versions but guess not

Would it have been that hard to point the build target to linux......

At a guess, there's a lot more than a UI. It has to interact with the driver directly, after all, so no, it wouldn't be a simple matter to "point the build target to linux". Though I do agree that a better interface is desirable, I do think that it should be done after amdgpu + userspace is properly up & running.

I understand that it talks directly to the driver, but still it's not as of they don't know what to call is it. It's their driver!.

Waiting on AMD is like waiting for the rapture tbh. By the time they've done AMDGPU have it running well + the new UI in place + freesync most of the last AMD user hold outs will have gone green. To be honest come next gen round I may be one of those that jump ship

To be frank the lack of new UI don't bother me, You set what you need to set then never open it again normally. It's the lack of freesync support that pisses me off. Luckily I still haven't gone that route. was looking for a GC + new monitor for my son this xmass , was going the 390 route. It now maybe a green team variant which I don't really want to do.

Sorry, ranting/venting a bit

Put in a question of whether we are getting freesync @ AMDMat on the OC forums driver thread. Don't seem to see it mention in any slides :(

Trouble is with UE4 now accessible by joe blogs and from the messing I've done the last few days I think Unity has a serious uphill battle for the "Goto engine"

I have no idea about the money/licensing side of ether so I guess that would make a big difference

I just can't get into it, I've tried and tried again after the update. It runs great even on AMD, looks good @1440p on movie but, The UI and imbalance is insane !!!!!
