So this is the first time AMD will have launch day support for Linux? Something that Nvidia and Intel manage to do regularly? Congrats!

Michael, I'll send you $40 if you can benchmark X Plane 10 with the RX 480 vs the GTX 1070 using at least these two sets of options (for 1080p and 1440p):
--fps_test=3 --pref:_is_full_ALL=1 --pref:_x_res_full_ALL=1920 --pref:_y_res_full_ALL=1080 --pref:_bpp_full_ALL=32
--fps_test=3 --pref:_is_full_ALL=1 --pref:_x_res_full_ALL=2560 --pref:_y_res_full_ALL=1440 --pref:_bpp_full_ALL=32
Ideally with an i5-6400/6500/6600, but any Intel CPU, just please say what it is. I would also need to know the memory speed used.
Obviously you're under NDA, so the results will have to wait, but these benchmarks are worth a lot to me. It's pretty much guaranteed the GTX 1070 will perform well, but the RX 480 is a big unknown.

As soon as the open source driver is available on Fedora, I'll run to buy this card. I don't care even if the Gflops/price ratio isn't better then for a 1080, just for the fact that AMD is releasing a good card, with an open source driver and at a low price, these are three perfectly good reasons why I'll buy this card!
