I bought the card to quietly drive a 4K-screen, and it works very well for that. glxinfo shows: Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer): Vendor: X.Org (0x1002) Device: Radeon RX 560 Series (POLARIS11 / DRM 3.10.0 / 11.2- PRERELEASE, LLVM 5.0.1) (0x67ef) Version: 18.0.0 Accelerated: yes Video memory: 4019MB Unified memory: no Preferred profile: core (0x1) Max core profile version: 4.5 Max compat profile version: 3.0 Max GLES1 profile version: 1.1 Max GLES[23] profile version: 3.1 I'=C3=84ve not done any benchmarking, since I don't really need 3D performance. Blender and kdenlive run smoother than before (with Intel), but I really don't use either heavily. Cheers, Mathias Oh, I'm just noticing this is with drm-next-kmod-4.11.g20180224, not drm-stable-kmod on -STABLE from May 3: FreeBSD marcopolo 11.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 11.2-PRERELEASE #1 r333211: Thu May 3 20:39:20 CEST 2018 Probably historical reasons. I guess stable shoud work too...
