Will you be upgrading to the Linux 3.13 kernel when it's released if you're an open-source AMD user? Or are you already running a Git snapshot? From a performance perspective, it's very worthwhile to install the new Linux kernel. Open-source AMD Linux users can also benefit from HDMI audio being enabled by default and other new/improved functionality. Let us know via the forums, Twitter, or Facebook if you will upgrade to the new kernel -- also if you have any kernel issues or questions.
