Why HD2000-4000 are second rate citizens? First AMD drops support in Catalyst for them. And while it would make sense to have a focused opensource driver for these generations to provide legacy support, it seems that the opensource driver makes a priority Evergreen and above generations too... A while ago it was the news that Evergreen would have official OpenGl 3.0 support on by default, earlier than the older generations(?), and now from what agd5f says:
a) Either evergreen will have support for hiz first
b) Or hiz support for hd2000-4000 was fine but there were issues on Evergreen so they decided to hold it back...
Either way, it is a bad attitude towards older generation users. Why Evergreen and newer are a priority, when they can use the Catalyst and are much newer chips? Seriously, i own a 3870 and it is about 2 year older than the Evergreen family. When i see that Evergreen matures to OpenGL 3.0 first or gets Hyper-Z(a really important feature) first (not to mention other performance improvements etc) i feel cheated. It is like AMD showing us older generation users to buy newer cards. Well, if that is what they want, it would be better to just ask for it, not this way... And why upgrade? My 3870 does its job perfectly...

So I tried the benchmark within FEAR. But with R600_HYPERZ=1 it puts the GPU in a state of infinite GPU resets. So no performance data here.

Where can i download FEAR ?
It's a Windows game, but works fine on Linux with wine and r600 drivers, except when run with R600_HYPERZ=1.

LLVM compiler+kernel 3,5rc1+pcie2+color tiling+HIZ+openGL3 shader language= crash
maybe its the LLVM compiler but right now its not clear why it does crash.
