Ok, maybe their marketing is just
retarded and misleading (go figure), it appears to be same as
mine, 16384x16384. They really should just say this in
marketing. That gives me 4x wide possible at 4k, which I've
considered, I *can* add another to mine with 4x dp ports.
Maybe I will try nvidia after all, as yours is the first
confirmation I've been able to find really on a 9xx or higher
nvidia. Thanks a ton for that.
My experience isn't bad by most means with this amd solution
*now*, which is odd and impressive for this card released in 2010
I think. Every 4k recommendation says you need a nvidia gtx9xx,
which just isn't true, other than the one stingy hdmi2.0 port they
come with.
Drivers were the worst of it, fglrx was always buggy with
compositing at 6x monitors wide, kwin had the least suck. Most
games never worked with fglrx, or didn't for long. I wanted
plasma 5 kde, so I moved to 16.04, which fglrx didn't support at
the time, which forced moving to radeon/mesa drivers. Much better
surprisingly, especially with dri3, and I can play almost any game
I've tried like Saint's Row, Witcher 2, Star Conflict, Portals,
etc at 4k resolutions, including more stable compositing (at the
same time!). I've actually taken to playing some games again as a
result.
This showed me I should never have faith in amd/ati to ever fix
their own linux drivers, not when reverse engineering them after
20 years oss drivers finally are better with little help of their
own. I know the amd-gpu project is trying to fix it, but at this
point I'd rather just abandon amd if nvidia's drivers/cards *are*
better, and finally support my desktop config.
Now if I can find a 1070 card less than retail (ie reasonably
priced) once scalpers stop soaking them up. Scalpers do this for
HTC Vive VR's too - they need to die. I can't pick one up used
cheap if no one has grown disgruntled with them yet.

I'd love to be wrong here, but for
years nvidia imposed a limitation of only 2 monitors possible
at all when I was already doing 6x wide with ati on a 5870
card. As buggy as fglrx tended to be, it mostly worked as a
desktop in ways nvidia seemingly could only dream.
What does this show on yours for the first line? The maximum
is relevant here.
