<p>I am also using OVMF for this VM. The problem seems
intermittent and I am slightly convinced that leaving the
VM running for a while until the load (not CPU / IO
related) falls to normal (~zero) before shutting the
VM down. Occasionally this works. <span

<p>Quite frankly this is the last straw for me, Linux and
AMD GPUs. After years of problems and against my better

proceeded to buy this 290x. Never again!</p>

<p>I currently have a R9 290x (<span>Hawaii) "</span>working"
but it has issues related to this bug covered by this
patch: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://goo.gl/DI9cvH">https://goo.gl/DI9cvH</a></p>
<p><br>

<p>The patch was implemented in QEMU 2.4 and I'm
running 2.5. While this patch does seem to help I
still have problems. After I shutdown the VM I'm often
unable to suspend or shutdown the host. Amongst other
symptoms lspci and lshw both hang giving no output. I
had none of these issues with an old 7950 I had
installed before the 290x.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I've come to the conclusion that the 290x is worth
more to me on eBay than in my machine. Question is
would I be better off with nVidia and if so does
anyone have any feedback with regard to GTX 970 and
980 cards?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>

If you decide to go with another gpu, better wait some time,
new cards from nvidia and amd are comming soon. If you don't
want to go with new cards - I am sure older one will be
cheaper. With nvidia there is problem with some hyperv
options, if nvidia detects it doesn't allow to boot VM. But
there was some way around this.<br>
Btw, I have R9 290 (also Hawaii) and since I started using
ovmf, I never had reset problem with my gpu.<br>
