Jeez people, do you really buy hardware because of how it will be supported in 10 years? Support today means nothing to you?
I suppose if you're constantly chasing the latest and greatest, this isn't something that matters to you. If you have a few oldie but goldie games you play and that's all you need, then support in 7 to 10 years is something that matters. This is especially true if Linux is your OS. With the open driver, you just install the latest distro and don't worry whether your graphics card will work because you KNOW it will.

I haven't used Catalyst for the past 8 years, for a brief time I even experimented with llvmpipe because Kaveri 3D acceleration was not ready yet. But as soon as I get a card that will work with the new Catalyst (most likely one of the RX 400 Series when they will be released) I can see myself giving it another try.

NVidia FX5000 series however never worked properly with Linux open source drivers, giving very poor performance and graphical glitches. And the proprietary driver is EOL now. On Windows they don't support anything newer than Vista.
Intel Gen5 graphics run decently on Windows. But on Linux the same games that run fine on Windows are often a slideshow or don't run at all (there were some improvements recently though).

Hmm, you're running out of arguments fast. What does some optional graphics feature got to do with drivers?
There are many graphics options that will kill performance on any card: hi-resolution soft shadows, huge viewing distances, grass/vegetation density, God's rays or tesselation. Hairworks is nothing but over the top (for the current hardware) tesselation, but then again so is TressFX.
I can enable hairworks for Geralt and with some trial and error get steady 30fps on my 660Ti (1920x1200), so I'm not even sure what you're trying to say here.
Open source is the only way to go.
I'd be hurt if the company I supported ignored open source, too.

So we are 3 that can reproduce the same error so it's definitely an bug.
Are we all using DRI3? i will try dri2 just to be sure.
EDIT: Tried dri2 and it's the same.
The only thing that changed is that my radeonsi card is more fluent with dri2 then dri3, for some reason my radeonsi is real slow with dri3 my r600 is fluent i both dri2 and 3.
Dri3 gives really high fps with radeonsi but with dri2 when it's running more fluent the fps is much lower.
Looked at the logs and there's an core profile difference.
