Phoronix: Trying The Radeon RX 480 & R9 Fury With The AMDGPU Code For Linux 4.8

With the main batch of Radeon/AMDGPU driver changes ready for DRM-Next that will in turn land for the Linux 4.8 kernel, I've begun testing this new code with various AMD GPUs. Here are my AMDGPU results when comparing Linux 4.7 Git to this code that's coming for Linux 4.8 with a Radeon R9 Fury and RX 480...

Well we don't have GUIs, we overdriving by using ConsoleMan on Linux
