According to this post [1], the AMDGPU-PRO driver should have support for my R9 270X. I considered installing it on Arch, but first I need to know if anyone has the link to the patch that makes the OpenSource AMDGPU driver work on GCN 1.0 cards. Aparently my search engine is refusing to show me where it is.
How is the performance of AMDGPU on GCN 1.0 cards?
And how is the performance of AMDGPU-PRO on the same cards?
------------------------------------------------------------
Radeon developers introduced two bugs where two games I own will crash my entire system, forcing me to do a hard reboot. I reported the bugs to the Kernel developers several months ago (the first one in August last year IIRC), and I haven't tested newer Kernels to see if they're resolved.
If anyone has the same card as I do, and play Team Fortress 2(Free game) or X-Plane 10, please let me know if these games are working fine. Team Fortress 2 will simply crash every 30 seconds or will crash the system once you play on a server with lots of engineers; and X-Plane 10 will crash after you've simulated for more than 1:30 hours, and then quit the simulator. Sometimes changing the aircraft numerous times, changing locations, etc, and then exiting the Simulator (all of this in 20 minutes or so), will crash the entire system too. It's very unpredictable.
(To run X-Plane 10 on Radeon drivers, add the following to it's Launch Properties (without quotes): "--force_run")

SPECS:
AMD FX 6300 (OC'ed to 4.1 GHz, 1.2v)
16 GB DDR3 HyperX Fury 1866 MHz
R9 270X DualX OC Edition
PS: My problems are not related to temperatures. My GPU doesn't go over 45ºC at full load, and my processor doesn't go over 45ºC as well, with stock cooler.
PPS: These games work fine on Catalyst, but I don't want to run that driver. It's a PITA.
