Note that I won't be updating to kernel 4.8 quite yet, so you'll have to install it manually rather than just updating. I plan to bump it to 4.8 no later than the Fedora 25 final freeze, which is November 1st.

Finally got amdgpu to work with my R9-270! (git build from drm-next-4.9-wip)
...and TF2 hard-locked my machine after playing for 20 minutes - which is the entire reason I've been waiting to try amdgpu instead of the stock opensource radeon driver for the last 3-4 months.
Time for a new card. Hopefully one that can reliably play a 12 year old game. (consider me very skeptical on which brand I want to buy again)

Note that amdgpu can be used with both AMDGPU-Pro (Beta, Ubuntu only for now) and Mesa, while Catalyst works with another driver altogether.

If you want to use FOSS drivers, you won't find any luck on other cards, as this seems to be consistent across mesa:
If you don't care about FOSS/Nonfree drivers, your best bet is to try to use catalyst, or move to Ubuntu and use AMDGPU-Pro.

BTW, what's the difference between drm-next/X.XX-wip and "amd-staging"?
As for radeonsi, this term refers to the mesa stack, while "amdgpu" and the old "radeon" refers to the kernel level drivers. If you're using mesa, then you're using radeonsi... but regardless, if the amdgpu+radeonsi combo works good for you, that's great to hear

I've noticed that the latest builds of amd-staging now support amdgpu on my crappy R9-270. Kudos to Mystro256.
So here's a question. Am I actually using some brand new graphics driver, or does amdgpu recycle the older radeonsi code for GCN1.0 devices? I noticed that I was still locking up while playing TF2 on the 4.9-wip kernel.
