Similar to the Tesseract run, it seems the Radeon R9 290 does regress in some of the Xonotic runs.

No big change in the GPUTest results... Sans the possible R9 290 Hawaii regression shown in some of the test runs, the results were relatively flat for the AMD Radeon graphics between Linux 3.19 and Linux 4.0. While the results aren't very interesting, the new functionality is that includes DisplayPort audio, improved fan control support, and various other Linux 4.0 kernel features outlined in past Phoronix articles.
