I hope it will come out on GOG and not like the usual "unfortunately, we can't support GOG release, please buy it you know where".

Quoting: scaineWhat on earth causes that situation?? Why would they only release Win only on GOG when they support all three platforms on Steam?

This is starting to happen all the time now. Mark Of the Ninja remastered just came out on GOG. No Linux version in sight...

5700XT is close to 2070, even better in some cases. Basically comparable.

My Sapphire Pulse RX 5700XT turns fans off under low load, without any custom fan curves.

They didn't announce lower end cards yet. But I'd guess next year.

Quoting: Avehicle7887My Debian 9 dinosauric OS is ready :grin:

Yeah, I'm now waiting for Sapphire Pulse RX 6800 XT to come out and actually be in stock. It might take some weeks or even months though.

Updating amdgpu firmware from upstream on Debian is not hard. Seriously.

Here is an example how you can do it:

#!/bin/bash



base_dir="$HOME/archive/debian"

firmware_dir="linux-firmware"



mkdir -p "$base_dir"

cd "$base_dir"



git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git $firmware_dir

cd $firmware_dir

git pull --rebase --prune



sudo cp -v amdgpu/*.bin /usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/

sudo chown root:root /usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/*.bin



sudo update-initramfs -u
