Bought a core3D sound card instead. Vega will have to wait.


Nvidia + Ryzen has been resulting in some lock ups for people. My uptime 
has been capped at 4 days with nvidia-418.30 :(

I'll know by Saturday if 418.43 fixed anything. FWIW my laptop (ryzen 
2700U) has been up for 22 days. I even left it in suspend for a solid 
week and it came back up like a champ.


This is on -current, but if my system is still running at the end of the 
week I'm gonna call the driver "stable".
