After replacing them, my system stability issues (including some single-bit I/O errors I was observing fairly frequently) have been resolved. (In reply to Ilia Mirkin from <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=59069#c45">comment #45</a>) > Matt, if you're looking for advice on a GPU to buy, try IRC (#nouveau on > freenode). My quick recommendation is: "not NVIDIA". If you're set on > NVIDIA, happy to discuss the various trade-offs on IRC. Thank you for the recommendation. I have switched to a Radeon R7 360 (GCN 1.1 microarchitecture, Bonaire Pro chipset) and could not be happier with the open-source Radeon driver and the resulting desktop graphics performance on my system. Kudos to AMD for releasing enough documentation on their chipsets to allow development of a proper (non-reversed-engineered) driver. What a difference it makes. I'll never go back to Nvidia.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
