@gpuopen Q: When are you going to fix the random crash to black screen issues on #AMD #Radeon #7900XTX?

Cuz it's extremely frustrating for users like @fuchsiii when their #Linux-compatible #GPU is less reliable than the shitty #GMA500!

Espechally since we're talking about a €1k+ GPU and not some shitty Voltari Z11 / SiliconMotion SM750-based VGA card that is being sold for €10 with shipping on Aperzon!

@fuchsiii @gpuopen exactly that!
#AMD, #plzfix cuz people paid top €€€€ in expectation of your hardware working.

I know their answer. "Works on Windows!" 😒

@bastetfurry @fuchsiii @gpuopen that answer is insufficient since it's sold and marketed for #Linux.

@kkarhan @gpuopen
Ok, that's the memo i hadn't gotten here 😅

Frankly, sounds like a typical dead on arrival card to me, especially if @fuchsiii is the only one having that problem.
RMA it. And if the problem persists we can assume a driver bug.

For all the critics one can have on Windows, and i have oh so many, the graphic drivers got pretty robust and can handle a counted/faultish graphics card.
Linux can't that much and falls on its face. At least in my experience.

@bastetfurry @kkarhan @gpuopen https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2447 that does not look like its only me, but it looks like its only happening on arch linux. lets install fedora later...

@bastetfurry @kkarhan @gpuopen Latest mesa-git + the LTS kernel seem to be stable, my issue was likley the kernel regression in the ticket above. So far everything seems to work fine. (havend stress testet yet, but no crashes so far)
