Heck even a Ryzen 3 1200 would probably slaughter it. Hats of to you though LeJimster for sticking with a quality CPU (not-sarcasm!)....... Aren't all the Core4Quad mobos limited to PCIE 1.1? I know there was compatibility issues with PCIE 2.1 GPUs which could only be fixed on some motherboard with bios fixes (ran into the issue on one of my systems).....
Im using a X38 Asus P5E with a Maximus rampage? bios. Lol. Kept it @ 3.2Ghz for nearly a decade. Ugh, makes me feel ancient the more I think about it.

Plus the vulkan driver being developed there will eventually make it's way into MESA.
Assuming it ever does get released, that is. 19 months and counting...

What kind of artifacts would that be? I can verify that, at the very least, my RX Vega 64 doesn't appear to produce any artifacts (that I'm aware of) on the game menu screen.
There are also a number of other artifacts.
Currently:
4K res.
Vega 64
Ryzen 1700
ubuntu 17.10
Wayland and X does it.

Nope, their driver is going to be separate from Mesa even after it's open sourced. No doubt so they can keep their current code and share it with Windows rather than porting it to work with the Mesa/OSS stack.
RadV is improving but the greatest potential would lie in the driver that AMD developers themselves are working on, that's one of the reasons the free openGL driver got so good. So if what you say is true. that would really really suck. I had been looking forward to the day when the fragmentation of AMD graphics software on Linux goes away.
By fragmentation I mean..
-the best vulkan driver being in the proprietary package, while the best openGL driver is in MESA
-users of CI and SI hardware still being on the old radeon kernel driver and missing out on Vulkan plus newer features which are developed for the newer amdgpu kernel driver
We need to get to a place (like Windows has) where users of AMD hardware do not have to pick and swap different driver components (either userspace or kernel) for different workloads.

I'm leaning toward pairing my Vega56 with a R7 1700. I used to upgrade all the time but the q6600 has served me well! Lol

The only way to see these high-end cards under stress is to run them at Ultra 4K.
And who cares about the majority of people anyway? We are, or some of us are, Linux gamers. What kind of majority is that?
As for monitor use, I don't have data except myself. I have ONE 1920x1080 monitor left at home. It's on my server. Everything else is 2560x1440, 2560x1600 or 3840x2160. Even my laptops are 4K.
