    I find some of the responses curious. Yes, NVIDIA has had the performance advantage for awhile under Linux due in large part to their drivers which, while not open, do the job well. But now we have a situation where AMD has thrown out a $200 card with great OSS support and 970ish levels of performance. Why would we as Linux users not embrace that even if it is a few frames slower than NVIDIA's similar card? The whole package certainly looks more compelling from AMD, especially for those of us like me who do game, but only with what's available for Steam Linux and Wine where absolute performance isn't as much of a concern. Hell, I'm still running a Asus 660Ti and doing ok with it.

    Even if the GTX1060 is a bit faster, I'd feel better knowing I have a card with good OSS support that works better with Linux all other things being equal.

    At 1080p the 2x will probably be about right. It will be interesting to see if there are 1080p results this go around.

    Also, AMD was the first company in this industry I saw using goofy graphs like that back around the time of the bulldozer launch.
    if you look at those graph is more or less 20% which is in line with price being that 480 is $200. graphs don't start with 0. basically, not worth $250 when you account for closed source driver troubles

    I am actually not sure if this is 18 years old comment or just 10

    Eventually, these chipsets will move to the mobile space, where we won't have a choice of GPU. I have a Kepler core GPU in my laptop which, worse still, uses Optimus. It is still problematic. It is good to hear that AMD is moving to support Open Source, but while we have choice in desktops, laptops are going to be more difficult.

    RX 480 on LInux must be on that silence side, it does not have power issues so not need new driver i guess... we don't even know what is coil whine, that is perfect silence - half performing GL can't burn anything
