In the testing so far has been a Radeon HD 6870, HD 6950, HD 7850, R9 290, and R7 370. There will be more cards in the R7 370 Linux review along with some fresh open-source NVIDIA benchmark results. Tests were done on Linux 4.1.1 and Mesa 10.7-devel atop Ubuntu 15.04. Linux 4.2 Git couldn't be tested (plus the R9 285 with AMDGPU) since this particular test system is still plagued by the Linux 4.2 kernel panics.
With the higher-end graphics cards, the current open-source AMD Linux stack does deliver a playable CS:GO experience on Ubuntu at 1080p.
With Team Fortress 2 it's less demanding and becomes CPU bottlenecked.
As the last benchmark teaser for now, Unigine:
The benchmark results are in this OpenBenchmarking.org result file. Stay tuned for the full graphics card round-up in the days ahead on Phoronix.
