core28 is not live yet.

It is not a latency. It is the simulation type. GPUs are unable to do that. End of conversation. Your ideas and your assumptions are just that, and have no scientific backing.

Not you again.
CPU projects are there for a reason.
GPUs cannot do them. Plain and simple.
Any workloads which can be run on the GPUs are being run on GPUs.
While GPUs are super fast, they cannot do certain simulations.

7900xtx and 580 will not work on the same system, since they are running on the different branch drivers. Linux, however would be able to accommodate them Will the Polaris based RX 580 still have full driver support for OpenCL under Linux? Or am I remembering the wrong chip series as being at the c...

Even though older versions are still supported it is best to update to the latest one, especially when something stops working. If the client version is still working perfectly, then yes, no need to update, but if things break, first thing one needs to do is update and check again if the issue remai...
