Not holding my hopes up about better Linux support, but progress is always good no matter how far behind you are and Vulkan/Direct3D12 could to some extent reset the scales the same way Direct3D10 and Vista did on Windows.

It seems like AMD is stepping up there game.

The other features mentioned are hardware improvements as well. Since the amdgpu driver will be matured by the summer, when this hardware will be released, I wouldn't be surprised if even the video acceleration would work at/shortly after release.

I was browsing my favorite shop and listed the AMD video cards I could buy to play (Windows AAA games and Linux more or less AAA games like L4D2, Arma3, Civ5, Ark) on a lambda Fedora 23 computer.
Here is a sum up:
- HD 5450: too slow
- R5 230: too slow
- R7 240: too slow
- R7 250: probably good for non-AAA games but too slow otherwise
- R7 360: probably good for non-AAA games but too slow otherwise
- R7 370: most cards doesn't boot
- R9 270X: most cards doesn't boot
- R9 380: partial support (too slow)
- R9 380X: partial support (too slow)
- R9 390: too expensive
- R9 390X: too expensive
- R9 Fury (all flavors): partial support (too slow) and too expensive

Samsung might have better capacity.
