First up was BioShock Infinite where the GCN 1.0 era Radeon HD 7950 using the Radeon DRM + RadeonSI driver stack didn't really see any change in performance. But with the newer Polaris and Fiji GPUs there is a significant difference in the driver performance: the RX 580 performance is up 13% while the R9 Fury performance is up 17%.

With Counter-Strike: Global Offensive the HD 7950 improved by 8% while the RX 580 is now 13% faster and the R9 Fury came in at 15% faster.
