I am getting a crash every time I run Blender on Kernel 5.8. That said, currently there's some instability in the AMD open-source drivers. They are officially developed by the company that makes the hardware and even integrate well with their proprietary driver modules should you need that functionality (if you want OpenCL support for example).

The AMD open source drivers are definitely better than the Nvidia open source drivers (not better than the Nvidia proprietary drivers though). Have I missed this, or was it about something minor / not important? Haven't heard anything about it ever since.

And that's just one example.ītw, what happened to Nvidia's "big upcoming news" they've announced at the beginning of the year in regards to their Linux software stack. And also don't forget about other proprietary features, like for example g-sync, even though open industry standards for the same features already existed when it was released. I'm not a fanboy of any hardware company and won't tell you what to buy or avoid, but everyone thinking about buying Nvidia GPUs should also think about whether they want to support this kind of behavior, regardless of how shiny, fast, efficient and powerful they may be in comparison to their competition. Little hope of reclocking becoming available for GM20x and newer GPUs as firmware now needs to be signed by NVIDIA to have the necessary access.Video decoding acceleration supported on most pre-Maxwell cards.

This whole behavior started with the Maxwell GPUs (900 series) and it's a dead end which can't be solved by the free drivers unless Nvidia starts working with them, which is unlikely to happen. That also includes GPU clock frequencies above the lowest possible value. They are actively blocking the free drivers by having firmware signing/validation built into their GPUs which requires the firmware to be signed by them, meaning that the free drivers simply can't access and utilize most features of the GPU.

The open source one is entirely community developed and maintained, so it will never be as functional as the proprietary one.Įhm, it's not just that Nvidia only supports their proprietary drivers and firmware. NVIDIA’s proprietary driver is the only driver they support.

Please mark your "standalone" tech-support requests as tech support and re-flair them as answered! if an answer has been found (even if it was "this can't be done"). This wiki page can help you gather system information. What exactly did you do, and how, and with what version of what? How have you tried to troubleshoot the problem? Vague, low-effort tech-support requests may get removed. Include relevant details like logs, terminal output, system information.
