Novidya SLI doesnt work on any of the linux distros properly.... WHY THE FUCK IS THIS EVEN ALLOWED?
>>
A GPU setup doesn't work properly on linux? Wow call me crazy but I think I have seen this before
>>
Due to miniscule desktop marketshare for Linux Neither Nvidia nor AMD have the financial incentive to develop properly working drivers for their consumer-oriented hardware.

All graphical computing needs of your average linux desktop user are pretty much covered by your average intel iGPU (especially since the recent ones have exceptional performance for what they are).
And guess what, intel's iGPUs work

But unlike AMD, nvidia actually bothers providing some documentation for it

Wifi cards don't even work on linux and you expect a GPU to work?

amd has better drivers than shitvidia even on linux
ironic that you'd shitpost this hard even in a thread where OP says shitvidia doesn't work

there
are you retarded?

Not him but GCN 1.0 AMD cards + Linux = why bother, just use integrated graphics instead

Why the fuck is Linux allowed?

I honestly can't say.

Pick one.

SLI doesn't even work properly on Windows, it's a complete meme, plus some games even get worse performance on SLI.

Ask for Genuine Microsoft Software.

You sure told me you dumbass

xorg openradeon drivers are reverse engineered drivers.

Using GNU/Linux is like intentionally bricking your computer turning it into shitposting machine, because you can't run anything except video player and a browser.

Install OS X

You'd think it was a server OS because UNIX, but it's actually been so bastardized that you can't reasonably use it on a server. Ever.

yo ucan't even fucking read what you just wrote, can you?
that's the link the official amd website gives you

how about you investigate more? i'm not here to educate you

gallium drivers are made by the community from scraps of documentation released by AMD for their radeon cards and they're licensed under a free license unlike proprietary AMD Catalyst drivers.

openradeon drivers are shipped with gnu/linux by default.
And yes they work a lot better than the proprietary ones.
But they're developed by a team indepdendent from AMD.

Nvidia's open source drivers called noveau (the ones shipped by default with gnu/linux distros) are of much lesser quality because Nvidia doesn't release any documentation so they're entirely reverse engineered also by an independent team

>how about you investigate more?
Really funny you said that
>>
>>54531889
>>54531975
I should also mention that AMD announced a change in their business strategy towards Linux desktop and their drivers

Instead of the current model where proprietary and open source drivers are developed indepdendently by independent groups of people AMD wants to build a "core" open source drivers with licensing that allows to be shipped with most GNU/Linux as a kernel blob distribution and proprietary "catalyst" being a binary module on top of open source driver as a sort of an extension (so to speak) with the open source driver as it's core.

Allegedly it's AMD attempt to bring community developers to work on their drivers and reduce decentrallization.

I assume it's AMD seeking potential profits from SteamOS in the future.
