It's going to depend on how the card works. 4k resolution is 3840 × 2160 pixels = 8,294,400 addressable pixels. 8,294,400 addresses × 3 (red, green, & blue colours) = 24,883,200 memory locations to store one screen of image data. Depending on how many bits per colour, then the whole screen uses this much memory for one static screen: × 8 bits: 199,065,600 bits (24,883,200 bytes, or 25 MB) × 16 bits: 398,131,200 bits (49,766,400 bytes, or 50 MB) × 32 bits: 796,262,400 bits (99,532,800 bytes, or 100 MB) That's assuming a simple bitmap of the screen display, as opposed to compressed image handling (such as a 100 × 100 blue square being defined mathematically rather than just being a memory dump of the contents). The things that are harder to calculate are how it handles moving images. How many frames does it need to be able to hold in memory? How does it do other rendering tricks (3D, for instance)? Does it decode compressed video itself (e.g. the computer hands over compressed MP4 video data to the graphics card to decompress back to RGB, passing over a small amount of data to a graphics processor with oodles of RAM all to itself). -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.15.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 3 15:06:38 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.

Confirmed. I made the following simple change and it allows cb_ping_farm to
work with anonymous binds only enabled for rootdse;

I don't believe this will break any functionality, but since we're running
RHEL7, i'll raise this with Red Hat directly and they can review and/or push
upstream.

Thanks.
I have tested various combinations of the tuning params without success. I've
done further debugging and confirmed that it always starts after a bind
operation timeout. Looking into the chaining plugin code, I see that on
operation timeout results in a call to cb_ping_farm to see if we can find
another server in the pool that is available. However, it performs this
operation (the comment is telling);
/* NOTE: This will fail if we implement the ability to disable

if (LDAP_SUCCESS != rc) {
slapi_ldap_unbind(ld);
cb_update_failed_conn_cpt(cb);
return LDAP_SERVER_DOWN;
}
So basically, because we've disallowed anonymous bind for anything but rootdse,
it will always fail to find another available server. I have confirmed this by
allowing anonymous bind on our masters while the issue was present, then
subsequent binds on the consumers start working again.
I would think it more appropriate for that code to do a search against the
rootdse instead. Is there any good reason why it shouldn't? If not, I might
test modifying it.

The chain on update appears to use the chaining plugin timeouts, so you could
look at adjusting these parameters which may help.

That one was just the only AMD card that was in stock at the store I checked and was a reasonable price. You might be able to find one with a bit more memory for a bit more money.

You seemed to be surprised about the price, so I was just pointing out that it's a typical price range for a gaming card. And yes, gaming on Linux has greatly increased, particularly since a lot more games are cross-platform now and even more so since Steam supports running a lot of windows games on Linux as well. How about this card?

I have no idea, you'll have to look around and compare prices. And yes, you'll need to order display to hdmi adapters. They should be cheap, don't get tricked by the very expensive ones. (It's really only pin conversions between the different connectors.)

Re: Best video card with native drivers?
Alex, In order to support two monitors today, and the addition of a 3rd 4K monitor in the futureyou'll need a video card which supports 3+ video ports and at least one of those ports must also support 4k output, i.e. 3840x2160 resolution, at a minimum. I research/review products, especially all the details in the SPECS, at the manufacturers webpage, and that's usually after searching/comparing/contrasting similar products on sites like MicroCenter, NewEgg, Amazon, as well as the former FRYs Electronics. The Radeon RX 560 Richard Shaw suggested, has 3 video-out ports (1xHDMI 2.0b; 1xDisplayPort 1.4; 1xDL-DVI-D) and supports resolutions up to 4096x2160 (check!). Newegg has it for a price within your range. I suggest reviewing the graphic card power supply requirements versus the rest of the equipment in your desktop (i.e. total up all the watt's consumed) and ensure your desktop power supply sufficiently exceeds that capacity. I purchased a pair of 4K monitors early last year to use with my new desktop. I choose the Samsung - UJ59. Great 4k resolution at 32" in size, shop around for price as you should be able to secure one for $300-$400. As for native open source drivers on Radeon equipment I cannot speak to that. My preference is for something out of the nVidia family of products as their drivers for Linux (Fedora, Red Hat, Centos) have just worked whereever I've used them (at work and at home; physical systems and virtual). One card to consider would be the GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050 TI N105TOC; it is very close to within your price range, has 3 video ports like the Radeon RX 560 card and outputs resolution up to 7680 x4320.

You shouldn't need the radeon drivers with the newer AMD cards, which is why I mentioned the RX 5XX series, they run well out of the box. I only installed the amdgpu drivers for OpenCL support. If you can find the RX 4XX card they're nearly identical, the 5XX series have a little higher clock speed.

In my experience the only reliable open source drivers are the ones for Intel, and Intel doesn't make a stand alone video card, just on board video for Intel motherboards.

I'm very happy with my AMD RX 580 8GB but I don't mind buying previous generation hardware. I got it before the mining boom for $145 new, now they're almost $400 if you can find them.
