A Message From John Byrne Of AMD & A Survey

Quoting: sevI use AMD CPUs every chance I get, but AMD GPUs I have learned to avoid. I would love to go full-on AMD but the fact is, their catalyst drivers are just bad. They don't have drivers for some cards, and the drivers they do have are often very poor compared to similar NVidia models. I would love for them to spend time improving support.
What is your take on AMD's open source driver efforts, then? You did not mention them.

Quoting: FutureSutureDoes Valve really love open drivers?
I wouldn't necessarily say that doesn't mean they don't prefer open drivers, they just know that people are going to use the best driver for the graphics cards that will be in their steam machine GAME "console". There will surely be AMD steam machines so they want to know they work right. It's my understanding that you run the open driver for AMD for gaming on linux and the blob if you're running Nvidia on linux.
Valve did this for AMD's proprietary driver, not its open source driver, hence my initial question. Your understanding is my understanding as well, and yet Valve is effectively pushing AMD's proprietary driver by doing this.

Quoting: micmonIt is so sad that AMD does not just focus on the open driver. We all know that Valve loves open drivers. Together they could build the best possible Steam machine...

Quoting: lavebtw look up the youtube comments so far.. every 2nd is a rant about their sad linux performance. either its you guys or something funny is going on :D
It's a good sign. Hopefully with AMD getting the majority of responses from Linux users, something will click in its corporate head!

I took the survey despite not being an AMD user. I couldn't use my AMD Radeon R9 290X due to atrocious driver support, thus I cannot be counted as one.
