The GtkPerf tests were mixed but in general the open-source AMD Linux driver was leading for the tested Radeon HD 6000/7000 series graphics cards over the AMD Catalyst 14.6 Beta driver on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Are these AMD 2D Linux experiences close to what you've encountered? Radeon users let us know in our forums. You can run your own Linux 2D benchmarks in a very easy and straight-forward way via the Phoronix Test Suite and OpenBenchmarking.org.
