I'm building a new PC and I'm thinking to add a R7 260X for using with the OSS drivers. I hope I won't have big problems...

The OpenSource Drivers run CS:GO better in Fedora 21 then the catalyst

In the past multithreading caused severe issues with catalyst driver resulting in freezes/hangs (witcher2) and/or crashes (X-Plane). Perhaps they deactivate it for most applications with wise foresight?

Devil in the details.

I don't know if AMD has a multithreaded driver, I would hope they do. However, if they do have a multithreaded driver, they most likely have a single threaded version for single threaded applications and single core cpus. They may be doing something that prevents CS:GO from using the multithreaded version of their driver, something only they could fix.

We don't have enough info to infer what the issue is.
