excellent. Very interesting: you mean r6xx for r600 or only r600 radeon cards will get these improvements?

Huh? Most of the Radeon improvements are obviously for R600g except for where R600/R600g is mentioned or general work like build system improvements, etc.

Did radeonsi now fully passed the OpenGL 4.5 Conformance Test Suite with Mesa 17.0 or didnt it made it and will make it with Mesa 17.1?

No one is required to fully pass conformance tests (some failed tests are allowed), but only officially who passing it getting listed on khronos site upon validation again... so why bother asking this, just look at their site

Either you passed it or not (there is no something else there) so better use word "officially" rather than "fully"

Wonder if we can see this get pushed into Ubuntu 17.04?
Hope so!

Why wondering, it will be in Ubuntu 17.04:

Ubuntu 17.04 will ship with Mesa 17, so that’s the version which will be backported to 16.04 next.

Probably not:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99692

I don't have Dota2, but I have an R9 290 running with amdgpu and it got the same problems as the bug describes even running the simple vulkan demos.
