==Concerning AMDGPU (FOSS driver)== You are not well informed about that. See official AMD statement here https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/linux-graphics-x-org-drivers/amd-linux/866403-r9-270x-is-there-any-hope-for-amdgpu-support-in-the-future?p=866571#post866571 And keep in mind that OpenCL capabilities are coming into FOSS driver soon. ==Concerning AMDGPU-Pro (propertary driver)== See compatibility list, they even support R7 260 cards http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Radeon-GPU-PRO-Linux-Beta-Driver%E2%80%93Release-Notes.aspx ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
