<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 style="font-family: Calibri,

<p>Quite frankly this is the last straw for me, Linux and AMD
GPUs. After years of problems and against my better
<span>judgment</span> I was advised on a forum and 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>
<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>
