Also 6850/6870 owners still can play all games that was released for Linux last month.Last edited by RussianNeuroMancer; 14 February 2017, 01:58 PM.

The difference is r600 doesn't have a viable alternative, while radv does. If I were using radv and support for it dropped, I would be fine with using amdgpu-pro, even if I lost a few FPS. The fact that amdgpu-pro is currently closed source is irrelevant to me personally. If I were using r600 and support for it dropped, my only other option is fglrx, which isn't really better. In other words, I personally feel r600 needs to be a higher priority, because more people will benefit from it getting attention. This is coming from someone who would benefit from the completion of radv and does not own any r600 products.Last edited by schmidtbag; 14 February 2017, 02:24 PM.
