A Future Catalyst Update Will Improve CS:GO's Linux Performance

Catalyst or open source? My MSI 260x OC (aka HD 7790) runs horribly on the radeon drivers, didn't test Catalyst though.

steamwebhelper is still buggy. I can't play until it be fixed.

What seems to be the problem?

I have the same APU, so I can confirm that closed drivers work without problems.

Mostly glitches in window decoration. In some apps (Qt) it's completely transparent, and some (gtk) "glitch" to transparency after hovering over the buttons. So kinda weird.
Also stability is a problem (see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79862), but it seems to have bettered with a new BIOS by MSI and latest updates...

Also I would not recommend an OCed R7 260x at all, since they are broken by design. (Yes, even on Windows they suck)

Same here, no problems at all.

CS:GO is quite CPU-demanding, mostly if you play in 128 tick servers.

Even a cheap quad core AMD APU can reach that -- it's not that demanding.

Catalyst on Windows,
Radeon on Fedora 20/21.

I've got more problems on Catalyst, but thats probably because I'm running Beta drivers.

amd a8 5600k here, waiting for a good driver that give a good desktop performance, since the start ot the universe

Valve's source linux port is crap. It uses like 3 times the RAM, and runs better in CSMT wine, anyway. Valve's work is woefully unimpressive, and they've overextended themselves.
