I did a little comparison VCE 1 vs VCE 2. The results were similar

In the last few years I can not recall any problems with the windows drivers, except in new games. And this where always fixed with a simple driver update.
The only negative thing I could find about the 280/290 series is the higher RMA quota.

How did you arrive at that conclusion? Catalyst will continue improving with both AMDGPU and their blob kernel driver for older cards.

I guess people will have to make sure before buying a card for the next gen.

However, the shared OpenGL part seems to be lacking performance wise as well on Windows.
It's just the Linux driver that's still far from what the hardware is capable to provide.

According to wikipedia 3xx series are OEMs, Fiji will be R9 490/X One never knows with those unreleased products, they have a right and might change naming scheme entirely .

I would buy new Tonga revision (3xx), but it still not clear for me if future Catalyst versions will use the new AMDGPU for Tonga based cards. I know that OSS drivers for Tonga use AMDGPU, but I don?t see any information about Tonga + proprietary drivers.

I think the confusion here comes from "when amdgpu hybrid drivers will happen" vs "what hardware they will support". Hybrid drivers using amdgpu will probably arrive in what you call the 4xx timeframe (whatever the heck that is, we don't talk about 3xx vs 4xx internally) but are expected to support what you call 3xx and up. So Tonga, CZ, Fiji and up.
That said, remember that the main hybrid focus is still going to be 3D workstation so emphasis will be on the chips that become FirePro products -- we are continuing to add resources to the all-open stack development efforts for other markets. I think you will like what we are doing.Last edited by bridgman; 29 May 2015, 11:32 AM.Test signature
