I don't have rx480, can't really check on my own and so don't want to mislead you... but about this gaming or peak performance - it depends on a game but often open source amdgpu driver is better.
Check this rx470 benchmark for example:

Hi everyone,

I'm using now Intel 6600k with 4K monitor, I want to switch to AMD Ryzen but as their procs doesn't have any integrated graphics, is there any recommendation for a good VGA ?

- I'm using i3, browser, terminal, video, light usage, no game
- I remembered having an old laptop with intel + nvidia 750m card (switchable) the nvidia is way choppy / laggy compared to intel for desktop work usage, but better in gaming fps
- I have 4K freesync monitor, but I don't notice any tearing, I'm just using i3+compton+intel modesetting
- Here's my gtkperf now (full screen)

GtkPerf 0.40 - Starting testing: Sun Jul 23 06:13:11 2017

GtkEntry - time: 0.22
GtkComboBox - time: 0.70
GtkComboBoxEntry - time: 0.51
GtkSpinButton - time: 0.19
GtkProgressBar - time: 0.07
GtkToggleButton - time: 0.53
GtkCheckButton - time: 0.20
GtkRadioButton - time: 0.33
GtkTextView - Add text - time: 0.25
GtkTextView - Scroll - time: 0.01
GtkDrawingArea - Lines - time: 0.63
GtkDrawingArea - Circles - time: 2.29
GtkDrawingArea - Text - time: 0.20
GtkDrawingArea - Pixbufs - time: 0.06
---
Total time: 6.18

So any recommendation on what VGA should I get (I'm thinking of Rx550 or Gt1030) with what driver (opensource / proprietary) ?

Also if anyone with dedicated VGA and 4K monitor please let me know the desktop performance, is it as good/better/worst ?

thank you..

I haven't used Nvidia since 2013 or 14 so I don't really know where they stand as far as open source or proprietary driver support or how often kernel updates break the proprietary driver (had hell back in the day with my 8400GS and kernel updates). Currently, the newest gen AMD cards aren't fully supported with the latest kernel, but Arch has an unofficial repo that does support them (hopefully kernel 4.13 or 4.14 will fully support the Polaris based AMD cards) and some AMD cards don't have working HDMI audio with Linux, so really make sure you research the AMD card you plan to purchase to make sure it will work for your needs (based on what I've read, with that repo the 5XX cards should work just fine for you...hopefully, someone who has one and not somebody who wants one will chime in).

As far as drivers go with the newest cards, with Nvidia, you're basically stuck with the proprietary driver and with AMD you'll have a choice of Radeon and AMDGPU (true for anything late 2013+ for either brand). There's AMDGPU-Pro, but it's not as good for gaming and can be difficult to get and stay working with Arch (IMHO, outside of OpenCL, if you really need AMDGPU-Pro, use a distro AMD provides Pro drivers for).

You're going to want at least a 4GB model of whatever GPU you decide to get, but you should seriously consider getting at least 6GB with NVidia or 8GB with AMD (the extra ram really, really helps with the extra large textures used for 4k gaming). With the RX series, 460\560 and up is what to look at, models below those (in those series') aren't really gaming cards; ditto with Nvidia and the 1060GT; don't go below that. Basically, you'll want at least 4GB or more ram, and with Nvidia the1060GT is the budget gaming card and it's the RX 560 with AMD. I'd personally be happy with either of those cards and I wouldn't consider anything below the highest ram models of the 560 or 1060 if I planned on playing games. The cards you listed should be just fine if you don't plan on playing games or don't mind playing on the lowest settings (even at lower than 4K resolutions). Even with the 560 or 1060 you'll have to compromise on the game settings because neither will do a 2016+ game at 4K maxed out with decent frame rates, especially on Linux (either will do 1080p-2k damn near maxed, so there's that).

I'll also add that the GPU market is pretty crappy right now. Any card that's worth a damn is either new and costs way too damn much or is going cheap on used sites and was likely a whatever-coin mining card being sold off since the market dropped. New RX cards that went for $250 on launch are selling for $400 and more now....it really sucks.

If you can't tell, I don't have a bias for one brand or another. Both have their respective pros and cons. My personal choice is to go with AMD on a primarily Linux station and Nvidia on a primarily Windows, Solaris, or BSD station.

Hi skeevy420, thank you very much for your answer. I have to emphasize more that I don't do gaming intel hd 530 is enough for me, so low end cards should be enough, it's just that there's no VGA on Ryzen. I heard the news about the price also, that's sad. Given that the support isn't there yet for rx550 , what about rx460 then ? also may I ask why you'd prefer AMD vga on linux? opencl is a nice addition, I might need that someday, but that's not priority, thanks again..

Lone_Wolf · 2017-07-27 14:33:42

for ryzen with vga you'll have to wait until amd releases the "Raven Ridge" apu line, though they are likely to have the same driver issue as the RX 500 series.
No idea when Raven Ridge will be available though.

The RX460 would be a good choice for you.

The RX4xx is in the same position as the RX5xx cards (they're both Polaris based GPUs) and they need the same AMD Staging kernel for the time being. I'm doing the 4xx\5xx because a 460 is a 560, 470 a 570, etc; the only difference is the 5xx cards are made with a more refined process, have slightly better power efficiency, and might gain a 1-3 fps boost in games.

The reason I go with AMD on Linux is there are a lot of ways to configure the driver (xorg, R600_DEBUG, driconf), there are multiple 3d drives (amdgpu, radeon) built into the kernel, Gallium Nine supports AMD so I have native Linux DX9 rendering for Wine. With Nvidia, I'm basically stuck with the Control Panel to configure (though it is good), only have the one 3d driver, the OpenSource driver is kinda crappy, no Gallium Nine. Feature wise, AMD wins on Linux (IMHO).

Outside of Linux, I'd easily go with Nvidia cards. AMD has crap support with Solaris and BSD (I'm a ZFS freak) whereas Nvidia provides proprietary drivers. I love supporting AMD because (since 2010+) they've been very good to the open source Linux community, but that doesn't mean I'd buy an AMD card for an OS that they don't support very well.

I checked on Newegg before posting and I'd recommend "ASUS Radeon RX 550 4G" as the best 4k desktop AMD card without gaming in mind. It's only $109, which isn't bad at all considering I paid $150 for my "MSI R7 260x 2G". There are some various 2GB RX550\460\560 which would be great for a 2k or less desktop and 1080p gaming, but 4K really needs all the Vram you can afford to give it. For Nvidia, any of the 1050 TI's should work well, but they cost $30+ over the AMD cards.

For a simple example, a 1080p wallpaper I have is 448kb, the same wallpaper in 4K is 1.8mb (almost 75% larger), so a bad assumption is a 4K desktop might use 3x the video card ram as a 1080p desktop when rendering the exact same things.....or with a 2GB GPU, a wallpaper alone can possibly use a percentage point of ram usage.

This is a bit of speculation, but I've read rumors over the years that Nvidia artificially limits their GPUs in the driver after so long to encourage people to buy new GPUs for more performance. AMD on Linux is the exact opposite of that -- you'll only get more performance out of your card as time passes and new drivers come out. Whether that Nvidia line is true or not, I don't know, but I know for a 100% fact that AMD cards only get better with time (the benefit of having open source drivers and being friendly to the Linux community).

The RX460 is selling for way more than MSRP right now. While I agree with that GPU choice, I can't recommend a person buy a card with that much of a markup. Right now on Newegg there's a 4GB XFX 460 for $129, all the rest are 2gb cards, and cost way too damn much for what they are (especially that $277 MSI 2GB 460....WTF....).

Based on their specs, the RX460 is a better choice for gaming and the RX550 is a better choice for desktops -- 460 has more stream processors but only supports a max resolution of 4096 x 2160 while the 550 has less stream processors and has a max resolution of 5120 x 2880 -- a multi monitor desktop, non-gamer would benefit from the 550 due to being able to run more monitors where as the gamer would need the 460 for the extra stream processors to play their games faster.

Wait, Wait, Ignore all of that -- There's an ASUS 560 that costs the same as the XFX 460....only it has the more stream processors than everything else listed and matches or exceeds the specs of all the other cards I've mentioned too. IMHO, this is probably the best AMD card for the money right now for a 4K desktop -- A link to an Asus RX560 on Newegg.

I might be weird for wanting this, but I've always wanted a multi-processor AMD APU based system. 1 -- the thought of buying 1 component and upgrading both the CPU and GPU at once is nice; 2 -- they'd be great for VM's and multi-seat systems; 3 -- well, that's really it....

EDIT: fixed a 560 that should have been 550....

Thanks everyone for the answer. I looked at Raven Ridge too, it's ryzen + vega. Vega isn't released yet and they're aiming for mobile first (for ryzen apu) so it's like vega release -> raven ridge mobile -> raven ridge desktop -> proper linux support, so it would take a year perhaps ? For now, the Rx 5xx series still had problems from what I read, and not listed in supported hardware here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AMDGPU. I think I'll go with Rx 460 Thanks again..

With Linux kernel 4.12, which Arch Linux is using now, Polaris 12 cards, the RX500 series cards, are better supported, although you'll still want to use the amd-staging kernel, either from the unofficial repository or self-built, with both the RX460 or RX560....possibly a git version of Mesa for the time being too (haven't really checked on Mesa's status lately). Since both the 4gb 460 and 560 models cost around the same price depending on where you shop and both require the exact same tweaks to the system (that's the key thing to remember here), IMHO, you might as well go with the RX560. You're running a 4K system and you'll want all the resources you can give it.

AMD also released some patches a few days ago for the Raven Ridge line that work with 4.13. We can only hope that AMD is trying to get their next APU and GPU drivers ready to be included in kernel 4.14, the next LTS kernel release. From what I can tell, AMD is really trying hard to get everything up to the 500 series fully supported\working by 4.14. Improvements over the past year, especially the past few months, have been phenomenal.

FWIW, back in April on Ubuntu using their 4.10 stock and 4.11 from git without any of the AMD patches, the RX580 was beating the RX480 in gaming benchmarks. It'll only get better....like the benchmarks in May on Ubuntu using 4.12 and Mesa from git showing the RX560 performing noticeably better than the RX460 and around the same performance as the Nvidia 1050. Don't think too poorly on a GPU using almost finished drivers that performs better than the previous model and around the same performance as its competing model in the same price point with a proprietary driver (especially since those numbers are all from Ubuntu and most Arch Linux users report better results in the Phoronix comments).

No problem. It's hard to keep up with AMD, especially as of late.

Probably the best source for information is Phoronix's comment sections where you can find actual AMD kernel devs posting. I gotta recommend reading their kernel and GPU benchmark articles from the past few months to get an idea on AMD's status and reading the comments to get first-hand experiences of people using the RX cards.

Good luck. I hope whatever card you choose works out well for you.

Oh, and AMD released some Vega prices and models in the past 24 hours. They're all out of my price range

I have an R9 390 AMD Video card and I am having issues trying to get the AMDGPU or AMDGPU-pro working correctly. I initially downgraded xorg to 1.18 and tried to install the AMDGPU-Pro from the AUR and it broke X and just left a small text cursor in the top corner of the screen. I then tried removing AMDGPU-pro package and just install the standard AMDGPU package. Trying to determine where the issue lies exactly. lightdm kind of works but the screen is black with just a mouse cursor.

I can see these error messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log

 	(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

It looks like I was missing some 32 bit dependencies that are required for amdgpu-pro. For some reason the AUR package doesnt pull these in automatically.

This post was able to point me in the right direction:
https://github.com/corngood/archlinux-amdgpu/issues/40

I managed to get LightDM working

The issue I have now is when I try installing mesa-noglvnd. Its throwing an error:

Lone_Wolf · 2017-08-03 07:54:31

That amdgpu-pro package is weird and lags atleast 2 versions behind.
No idea why it would need lib32 stuff to boot a system and that thread doesn't show any logs.

Mesa-noglvnd is intended for those wanting to run AMD Catalyst, NOT amdgpu-pro .
Amdgpu-pro replaces / conflicts with many (or all ?) mesa parts. are you sure mesa is needed ?

Actually I am not sure if i actually need mesa or not. I thought if i installed may have required mesa to get some of the AMD SDK functionality to work.

I think i may need an equivalent package to amd-adl-sdk which is for the catalyst driver. Do you happen to know if there is a similar package for amdgpu-pro?

Lone_Wolf · 2017-08-04 14:52:08

That depends entirely on the functionality it brings, "AMD display library" is a rather generic term.

What / which porgram do you need it for ?

I am trying to use a program called hashcat/oclhashcat and it looks like it requires some of the AMD SDK in order to offload the hash calculations to the GPU.

Afaik the amdgpu-pro kernel module is also called amdgpu and AMD intends to end up with one amdgpu kerneol module that can be used by both open source and proprietary driver.

Opencl-amd is intended to work with the opensource driver, having both opencal-amd and amdgpu-pro-opencl may very well confuse hashcat .
Try removing opencl-amd , then post the output of clinfo .
