So the rule of thumb then is, "Don't use/rely on 3rd party proprietary middle-ware"

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

Quoting: pete910Well we don't get the flashy new UI by the looks of it :'(

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
