or at least have drivers and users can modify and release so other people can use and can get the most out of the gpu.
this could help with their terrible drivers on linux and get rid of terrible driver performance
Christopher Howard
Nvidia doesn't have this problem :^)
Aiden Bennett
This. Get what you pay for.
Owen Turner
They barely have the resources to write closed-source drivers, dude. AMD is a broke-ass company.
Nvidia has all the money in the world and doesn't give two shits about open source linux drivers either.
Angel Thomas
They have their GPU Open drivers or whatever
Dylan Taylor
the entire open source driver stack is a meme with tons of layers of abstractions that sap performance, layer AMD's inherent incompetence caused by years of corporate rot and H1B abuse and you get drivers that can't even compete with their already super shitty closed linux drivers.
Sebastian Jackson
errr uhhhh that do?!?
Evan Lopez
The drivers are a significant part of what makes a product competitive. They wouldn't just freely give that out to potential competitors.
Juan Nguyen
??? they literally have the best open source drivers
Samuel Ramirez
>what is AMDGPU
>actively trying to gimp nouveau Yeah, that's surely not a problem
Luke Powell
OP is confusing 'linux driver' with 'open source' driver.
Caleb Howard
>they literally have the best open source drivers
lol no. intel and all the mobile graphics vendors are leagues ahead of amd when it comes to open source drivers.
Dominic Walker
seems like its real pajeet hours right about now
Cooper Phillips
not a single mobile graphics vender has an open source driver, except for the reverse engineered freedreno project
Aiden Richardson
...
Nicholas Adams
That's not open source user, it's got proprietary blobs.
Grayson Hill
wtf I love AMD now!!
Andrew Wright
Are you stuck in 2008? Seriously. Nvid don't even release their own open source drivers. AMD release them along with their proprietary drivers, and are planning to actually pull the proprietary component out into userspace so it doesn't fuck with kernel devs.
Luis Collins
>AMD >Fully open source drivers Kek, no.
Grayson James
>hurr durr proprietary blobs GPU firmware is *totally different* to driver code and is something nobody really needs to or wants to touch. Linux *itself* typically comes with proprietary firmware for all kinds of devices. Take your Stallman politics elsewhere.
Jaxon Kelly
Maybe if you actually understood how operating systems work you wouldn't give a shit about binary firmware being needed.
Logan Evans
>totally different Only because it's closed source. If it wasn't it would just be in the kernel drivers.
Easton Garcia
Evidently you don't know shit about operating systems.
Kayden Baker
I'll show you my university transcript if you show me yours.
Julian Bell
Timestamp it with your dick faggot, if you care to dare!
Angel Fisher
Do it user. Make our day.
Make Sup Forums great again.
Grayson Brown
No because it's for a different arch and can't run on the cpu
