To use that driver it needs DPM support, should not use the same PCI IDs as radeon and as real fglrx replacement fglrx should skip all PCI IDs supported by amdgpu, otherwise it is not preinstallable. Basically it could work together with fglrx but then the module search path has to be amdgpu first. If you think if automated switching you currently have to blacklist radeon in case fglrx should be used. Best would be an OpenGL stub with vendor switching to have all drivers active at once without symlink (Debian) or ld.so.conf.d (Ubuntu needs to run ldconfig additionally) hacks. That stub could be configured with PCI ID to driver mappings, but to have multiply nvidia drivers in parallel the kernel drivers would need exact pci ID binding, no overlapping drivers...

Probably nothing new. Still lack of dpm, build support for amgdpu is not easy/worth at the moment. We'll see BioShock3 testing for radeonsi faster then VI testing at all. OGL4.x is waiting around the corner.
But i really wait for some test R 9285 quickly, because my cape verde has run out of time (Witcher is comming)

I own a R9 285, but we need dpm support for it to be usable. Also probably worthwhile to wait until Linux 4.2 RC1 & Mesa-mainline etc. include the bits. I don't expect major performance differences compared to e.g. the R9 290 open source stack.
