Indeed. Unfortunately, only 7600s are currently available as dual slot cards. Starts at 280€ (Germany).
Then there are the Pro cards (W7500 - W7800) as single and dual slot. Start at approx. 450€.
However, these are not any faster than the consumer cards.

Has the card worked with the old firmware?

On Petitboot I always use the framebuffer and on the OS I switch to the RDNA1 GPU.

No, you have to stay logged in. As soon as you log out or go offline, you will no longer see older posts.
There are clients like Element (Matrix) that keep you online all the time.

Congrats. Let's hope that the successors appear soon. Or maybe not

Yesterday someone on the Talos IRC reported that he runs a RX 7600 successfully on Fedora 39.
I guess, the same kernel requirements as RDNA2 (Kernel 6.1+). Not sure though.

Talos II / Re: Talos II reboots itself

« on: December 10, 2023, 06:07:32 am »

It's pretty simple. You only have to update the BMC and the OpenPOWER firmware, not the FPGA.

I had the same problem some time ago. After a thunderstorm with a lightning strike. I had to re-flash the firmware.
It could also indicate a bad PSU, which happens surprisingly often.

Have you tried another PSU?
You followed this guide already?

To be honest, the MPC74xx was not bad. The only problem was the manufacturing facilities of Motorola/Freescale.

And the MPC86xx was better than the PPC970. It just came a bit too late, unfortunately.
But in the end, Apple got exactly what they paid for.

Me too, actually. I still have an i5-13600KF, 6700, Win11 for gaming, a MBP M1 and a Mac mini (2009) with MacOS Monterey.

I really hope the new motherboard has nvme slots, and maybe more USB ports. SATA would be nice too.

Yes. Also hibernation, faster boot times, and adjusting fan curves without recompiling would be nice.
