X5000 hardware and multiple-OS options
Posted: Sat May 25, 2019 10:28 pm
Hey guys,
Previous X5000 owner here, and I'd intended to run AOS4/Linux/MorphOS on my computer but basically ragequit out of frustration due to the whole GPU issue. I'm kind of...getting the X5000 itch again I was hoping someone would be able to speak to some of my concerns here.
Essentially, I have a few questions. They are:
- What's the best GPU for AOS4?
- What's the best GPU for linux?
- What's the best GPU for MorphOS?
- Can I run with multiple GPUs? (applies to all different OSes)
- If I need multiple GPUs to support all of these OSes, what's the ideal configuration?
- What other cards would I use for sound, network, USB, etc?
- Is there a roadmap anywhere to get a single-hardware configuration supported by all?
Basically, I'd like to use an X5000 to its fullest potential. Obviously an AOS4 optimized setup is most critical, but I'd like to also use MorphOS and Linux to the furthest extent possible. I acknowledge this likely means multiple GPUs (gross) but is unavoidable...it's a shame, really, because having a more simple hardware configuration would be spectacular.
Also, what's the current story with X5000 and linux?
Thanks!
