Quoting: meggermanThat might explain it thanks :huh:

i will give it a go and see what happens, to be fair the Pro driver hasnt been too bad, but im more excited about the FOSS driver and any chance to use it is welcome. My main rig is Nvidia of course ^_^

( perhaps Vega will change that ?)

I hope Vega will achieve that.

Quoting: evergreenmy bet is f1 2016: same logo colours, the announcement that it won't come to linux was near to 1st april, and japan ideogram indicates release day will be on suzuka's gp...

No,they say that won't come to Linux. Besides F1 2016 already ported to Mac ; that new game will come to Linux and Mac.

Quoting: LeopardYou can get latest Mesa updates with this ppa on Mint/Ubuntu. I'm on Mesa 17.0.3 right now and i'm using stable ones.

This is the bleeding edge one.

I might give those a try, a few months ago the OIBAF PPA didn't work, nothing appeared in the Driver manager :/ only the Pro would actually install.. however the pro doesnt work with Mint Cinnamon ( or at least it didn't a few months ago ) so i had to migrate the desktop to MATE.

I'm using Mint Cinnamon as well. You need to turn on visible fourth level updates of update manager. That is closed by default.

Quoting: meggermanNot knocking this 'news' but might it be better to only report on Interesting MESA / AMDGPU updates on a Linux gaming site where the majority of gamers should be using the FOSS driver, which is better for gaming and officially supported by companies like Feral ? It wouldnt be good to confuse new Linux AMD users any more than they have to be given the multiple naming schemes and combos when talking about the AMD Linux GPU drivers. In fact AMDGPU-Pro drivers do not work properly on some distros and also require downloading and manually installing which is the kind of headache that really puts people off Linux usage in general.

A simple PPA of AMDGPU/MESA or in arch/antergos/manjaros case them being supplied as standard as those distros are newer should be all that is needed.

imo of couse ^_^

the -pro driver updates are fairly rare, and in this case have fixes for at least one game. Then there are things like compat OpenGL contexts not being available through Mesa, so if a game needs that then you're stuck with -pro, and the -pro Vulkan implementation is still ahead of radv (not that I've found a game where that actually matters). Then there's freesync support as well.

So there are reasons a new amdgpu-pro driver is of interest to GNU/Linux people, be it for desktop, developing, or gaming.

Fair Point ^_^

I actually have had to run AMDGPU-Pro in the recent past as one of my machines isn't properly supported yet on AMDGPU. Although that might be to do with it being on Mint and Mint being far behind in kernal/mesa updates.

Quoting: mas886Is there any reason why should I use PRO drivers instead of the open ones?

If you're not interested with CAD like applications ; no. Stick with open source ones.

Quoting: scaineI don't get who/what these cards are aimed at? This behemoth will likely retail for well over a grand, given that the plain 1080s are still around the £500-600 mark and the TI edition is £800-900. I mean, there's top-end gaming, and then there's just flushing money out the window!

IBM has worked with NVidia to incorporate their GPU's [External Link] into high performance computing servers. This could well fit into some supercomputer type applications (and could also explain the initial limit of 2 per customer?)..

Cards used for that purpose are different.This is customer targeted.

2 per user limit exist because of the targeted audience is so small ; this card is probably manufactured very few. So there is a possibility that someone can buy all these limited edition cards and start blackmarketing with crazy prices to some enthusiastics.

Best part is,it is limited 2 per customer:D

Quoting: PixelPiToday Feral streamed F1 2016 for Mac:

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/133615850 [External Link]

It feels a little bit sad but I don't see much difference between 2015 and 2016. Mac users haven't got 2015, so they are maybe a lot Mac user who will buy.

To be honest, I do not know if I would have bought it now. I just paid 50 Euros for DiRT Rally. F1 is reissued every year. There will be a version for Linux again next year or later.

I do not understand why 2015 has received such crushing criticism. The races are really fun. I see hardly any difference between 2015 and the actual version.

This kind of seasonal games can sell good with one condition: first day releases every year.

That is how Football Manager and Fifa sells.
