I need a "new" PCI-E video card. Requirements 1) No proprietary firmware or driver required. 2) HDMI and/or DisplayPort 3) Can do 1440p.
Nice to haves: 1) Known to work with coreboot 2) Small (case room is a bit of an issue)
Other stats, including age, not important.
Tried a
Gigabyte GV-N670OC-4GD with Nouveau but it failed with bizarre option ROM behavior -- frustrating experience -- so if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear.
@johns any AMD card would work
@meso Unfortunately a lot of AMD cards still require proprietary firmware (even when the driver is free).
@johns@social.librem.one maybe the intel alchemist cpus?
@johns i have no idea about coreboot, but recently got a Radeon rx6400 and had zero issues so far, I believe the driver is open source too. It's surprisingly tiny and cheap.
@johns #Trisquel 11 now has better support for old amd cards using radeon drivers, and possibly some amdgpu cards too, so you might be able to find an older compatible model that still has the ports you're looking for.
@iank may know more about specific model numbers, but the radeon cards we switched to between days of LibrePlanet were very stable.
