What about folks running pre-si radeons? Radeon southern-island |
| 13 |
generation isn't that old, you know. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Even if anything older is abandoned by the proprietary drivers (I |
| 16 |
wouldn't know as I won't do proprietary drivers), people may still be |
| 17 |
running older versions, with older kernels if required, and media-libs/ |
| 18 |
mesa with radeonsi isn't the correct migration path for them. |
| 19 |

FWIW I was running Turks (northern-islands, pre-southern) until a few |
| 21 |
weeks ago when I upgraded to a 4k TV as a primary display and decided to |
| 22 |
upgrade the graphics to better handle it while I was at it. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
(Tho for anyone thinking about it, the rx460, aka polaris11, I purchased, |
| 25 |
ended up being a poor choice as despite the hardware apparently |
| 26 |
supporting 3840x2160@60Hz, the freedomware drivers at least, apparently |
| 27 |
don't yet, so at that resolution I'm stuck at the same 30Hz that I |
| 28 |
believe I would have been stuck with on the older Turks card, which works |
| 29 |
better otherwise as the drivers for it have had longer to mature.) |
