RadeonSI's Gallium3D Driver Performance Has Improved Massively In The Past Year
I know that I get between 30-50fps @4k normal with my Fury and a i7@860 (old I know) using the open source driver with mesa-git (2 days old) and llvm3.9 and freesync (only over 40 unfortunately) by compiling my own 4.7 amd-staging kernel with DAL enabled.
While due to the old CPU I don't expect much more from the driver optimizations that will come, I'm already impressed with the result and to be honest further optimization will only be a good incentive for me to upgrade to Kaby Lake or Zen next year. Really really happy

I'll come back in a year or two to upgrade my GPU to an AMD one. No more an nvidia one with no doubt, as long nouveau is still as slow and their proprietary still as closed as they are (in the sense that true wayland support isn't coming out soon, lack of gallium nine, etc). I hope their vega GPUs gets as good as this generation is.
It's kind of obvious that vega will be better than polaris. Will it catch 1080 is another thing though.
