The question is can I get EDID emulation with Pro drivers and a supported non-Pro AMD GPU, or does that fall under excluded "workstation feature set"?
This is a feature that I just must have, but I'd really appreciate if I could get the performance of Radeon VII instead of the similarily priced Radeon Pro WX 7100.
I need it to get a stable desktop when connected to displays that don't have reliable edid implementations and can be unplugged at any time.
Yeah, sometimes the dongles work. Dummy plugs mostly, pass-through ones not so much... or at all. For DP and 4k60 they're practically non-existent. Those are just a huge, huge PITA to deal with.
I think this is AMD's response to reading all of the reviews saying the Radeon VII is not quite a 2080 and doesn't even include the extra features for the same price. If this pushes some of the pro features down to the consumer space I am for it though. The Feature I would really want would be MXGPU. That could really boost the value proposition of the Radeon VII graphics card.
Actually, even before RVII was released, Lisa Su was saying that the GPU is targeted towards prosumers and gamers alike. The GPU is an MI50 essentially with reduced FP64 performance and increased core clocks on the cheap.
Plus, it actually consumes less than 300W on load (even though its rated up to 300W)... and it can be undervolted to surpass 2080 in efficiency.
So, this is more usable for prosumers than necessarily gamers as prosumers are more likely to take advantage of it. As for the Radeon Pro Software for Enterprise release... I think that was more or less always incoming for RVII given its compute capabilities. Think of it as a software update that AMD probably intended to release all along (it certainly doesn't look like a last minute type of thing)
I don't think this is true. That dialog option does not come up on consumer RX or GTX cards, even if you have a 10-bit monitor. You can get a sample 10-bit test ramp PSD online to test if it's really displaying true 10-bit color, though, so if you have experience with this I'd love to hear about it. Can't find anything myself about it for Polaris or Vega.
I'd love if they had a "Pro compute" mode available. No display output, simplified driver stack and thereby somehow reducing latencies for GP-GPU. Not sure if that's feasible, though, but I heard the Tesla drivers are doing something like this.
It sounds like it was kind of exclusive though: "AMD is making the Radeon Pro Software Enterprise Driver 17.Q2 with “one driver” support available exclusively to enterprise customers, and those wishing to implement it will need to contact their AMD Sales Representative or fill in the request form here."

I am working as a software developer in the current organization and have 8 years of experience into it. But not I want to shift towards automation testing. Can someone please suggest me which technologies should I learn or how to switch to automation testing from development.https://privateproxy.info

Do you need it for virtualization or for headless operation? Dummy plugs can help in some situations.azfr - Tuesday, February 12, 2019 - link

Does this mean consumer cards get 10-bit openGL support in applications like Photoshop? That would be a huge game changer.nathanddrews - Tuesday, February 12, 2019 - link
AMD consumer cards already support 10-bit OGL in Adobe - they have for years. You have to manually enable it within PS/Pr/AE, etc.https://i.gyazo.com/717674a7c700e800f7e1b00564c4d4...

The "One Driver" thing isn't news, they introduced that back in 2017. GG AT.https://community.amd.com/community/radeon-pro-gra...
