    Fiji and Tonga are both Volcanic Islands, so they both need similar driver support. Architecturally they are basically the same, just different amounts of resources.
    Ah I thought Tonga was a GCN 1.1 card. So I guess all GCN 1.2 based cards will probably get reclocking with kernel 4.4 then.

      I like this R9 290 part by the way

        Yeah but that whole GCN 1.1 and GCN 1.2 thing was made up by Anandtech who is an Intel Fanboy. It's better to call it VI.

          fedora 22's current kernel is 4.1.6
          ubuntu sucks, but fedora 23 will get kernel 4.4 starting with 4.4.3 or so

            AMD has called them GCN 1, 2, and 3 internally. Who cares who came up with the 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 terminology. It's convenient and easy, that's all that matters. With VI vs CI vs SI you have to try to remember which order they come in.

              Better than I was expecting, the 285 is kind of slow. I wonder if d3d9 will be added in.
