it does support hawaii cards also by enabling cik support in kernel. however I don't know how effective that part is atm. the 390s are the most unloved cards by AMD for some reason....

I would like a AMD CPU for my next upgrade, I even had a 6 core 8370E CPU while back, moved to a Intel 6core cpu and felt it was a huge waste of money except for the benefit of PCIe3.0 which did help with 4k content. I didn't see a massive jump in general desktop/gaming performance going from the 8370e to the intel 6 core I have today, definitely not the $500odd I paid for the Intel CPU.

The texture issue you mention is a old one, basically for videocards of 4gb or less it becomes a issue. My 390x has 8GB and thus it allows ULTRA textures without a hitch, I heard the 980Ti also allows Ultra. I reported the bug way back in the beginning.

Unfortunately I saw this coming a MILE away, I have the game, got it early on and they deviated from making it a story campaign coop into a multi-player arena shooter, fatal mistake!

Really wish I could get my money back!

Its a good port and I intend of playing ARMA3 more once I figure out howto get my AMDGPU CIK 390X working with latest MESA, and ARMA3 working with that (at present its taking too much of my time to fix so I have put off using Linux until a kernel 4.5 gets released.

And yes Windows ARMA3 is 1.56 with a performance pass patch in beta (not sure if that is 1.56 or 1.58..)

With NVIDIAS Vulkan driver does it treat every GPU you have as a resource? do games benefit with multiple GPUs yet under Vulkan?

Just wondering because SLI under Linux has always been a bit shaky at times. (better then AMD whom don't support XF or Vulakn atm)

I found it hilarious that Microsoft responded not long ago that they would fix the vsync/60fps AND SLI problems so that they would work in their Windowed environment..... YEAH RIGHT....

I would say Fallout 4 with full mod support on Linux would be great, BES could maybe make a Vulkan update and release a beta Linux build at the same time. Considering what MS have planned for gaming under windows, Linux should REALLY start to take off this year in a big way!

Forever AMD gets the middle finger yet again.. I wonder if AMD enjoys EVERYONE outright ignoring them as a company under Linux!

Kinda regret buying my 390x, should have stuck with the 980GTX. Mind you the 8GB VRAM is nice (and yes I use it since I run everything at 4k and mod etc).

Freesync is a nice feature to have but I think the sacrifice of loosing Linux gaming (for the most part) is a bit too high to pay, next round of videocards will be interesting and if AMD can't produce a GOOD Linux driver by then, I'll go back to NVIDIA (AMD Should be happy, they excel at loosing customers).
