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> </div> </body> </html>
