Phoronix: AMDGPU-PRO BETA 2 Driver Is Playing Nicely On Ubuntu 16.04 With The R9 Fury

Released on Saturday was the new AMDGPU-PRO Linux beta driver release for the AMD GCN 1.2 graphics cards. Given the time that's passed since the first beta of this "hybrid" open/closed driver stack, I've been running some fresh benchmarks...

Please try to run any Feral game (Alien Isolation, Shadow of Mordor, Tomb Raider) with amdgpu-pro. Do they work?

Unfortunately none of those games have a working, automated benchmark mode.

If you want to give the new AMDGPU-PRO driver a go, be sure you are on a GCN 1.2 GPU

Why do you say that?

It works just fine on my R9 290 which is GCN 1.1

Reddit says it's working now.

Michael: can you run es2info or anything using OpenGL ES?

Can confirm that Alien Isolation works perfectly.

Can confirm all feral games launch and run as expected now!!!

cant wait to play tomb raider on my r9 380x, I had it running smoothly at medium settings last night but need further testing to confirm(was only in a cave)

A:I seems to be running A LOT better now.

Hm, the title made me think that the performance issues with the Fury were fixed.

If this is true, that's great news as I can finally upgrade to Kubuntu 16.04. Can someone else confirm this? (I have a R7 260x).
