It's going in my main desktop.
I use that pc to try out new stuff, so it will be used for all kinds of things.....mining programs and regular workstation stuff.
And since I use my workstation so much I don't give up as easily if I have issues so I put more effort to make things work as I use that pc the most.
If I throw it into another pc I'll probably give up as soon as I have a problem, not so with my workstation. LOL

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04.03 and rebooted.
The desktop was incredibly sluggish with Ubuntu using a generic driver, so I ssslllooowwwllyy made it to amd's driver page and downloaded the latest amdgpu-pro, ver 17.50, and rebooted.
It installed perfectly.
I had one issue, I had 1900x1200 resolution and it detected my monitor as a generic 22" 1900x1200 display.
Its a 27" 2560x1440 HYC and Ubuntu refused to detect it correctly.
My display is HDMI and DVI only and the GPU has 3 display ports and one HDMI port but comes with a display port to dvi adapter so I robbed a HDMI cable from my living room blue ray player and plugged it in.
Apparently the adapter was the issue.
It works!! Very responsive and very crisp looking.
Now it detects the monitor and resolution correctly.
Now I need to install a lot of stuff that I had backed up to my nas.

I'll probably try mining tomorrow but for now I'm just setting it up for my usual stuff.
Downloaded and compiled the latest xmr-stak-amd and ran it.

Zero tweaking.
I am able to read fan speeds and gpu temps with lm-sensors.
Temps hit 90c REAL quick, fan ramps up to only ~2000 rpm's.
Need to be able to control the fan speeds, I was able to with my RX 580's but its late and I just cant remember what program I used.

This works controlling the fan speed.
GitHub - DominiLux/amdgpu-pro-fans: An alpha version written in bash script for the development of overall concepts for a c++ project I will be releasing soon as open source.
Set it for %75 and its LOUD.
Running xmr-stak-amd and amdgpu-fan it has a temp of ~70c at 3855 rpm.
Set it for %50 = ~79c and 2770 rpm still loud.

still very poor performance compared to windows driver/tweaks... searched a lot on this and didn't found any proper solution to get high HRates under linux

Yea I knew that from the beginning, but this is my main computer that the only time I mine with the video card is when I'm not on it so its not a huge worry to get the outright highest speed possible and i'm sure someone eventually will figure out how.
So far i'm liking the video card, seems snappier using Workspace Switcher using eight virtual desktops all running stuff compared to the GTX 1080Ti.
I guess its all that vram it has.
Also I just noticed, whenever the monitor turns off after an hour and then turns back on it used to have this odd "twitching" deal going on on the upper 1/4 - 1/2 inch or so for a minute or two until it goes away and thats gone now.
So that was either some issue running the monitor with the dvi input or an issue with the GTX 1080 ti or maybe both.

I tried Luk-miner and it does not recognize the gpu.

On Aeon the GTX 1080Ti its about 1600 H/s and on XMR it gets about 785 H/s completely stock on Ubuntu.
The RX Vega 64 FE gets under 1300 H/s on XMR in Ubuntu totally stock.
I have not tried Aeon yet, should get ~2600-2800 H/s i'd imagine.
Interesting, because my 780 Ti competes with 1080 Ti. That is good to know.
Well, how long is going to take to pay Vega off?

Have a Vega 56 mining Monero @ around 1600 H/s on Windows. Paid $830 AUD just before Christmas. Expect to pay it off in 6-9 months @ around $4-5 per day. Vega 64's are now $1300+ on ebay!
You may be right. Haven't bothered with optimising things. Was just getting my feet wet.
