AMD Still Struggling With Linux Gaming

[wraggster]

AMD's Linux gaming performance has been embarrassingly bad (http://tech.slashdot.org/story/15/07/30/1358226/on-linux-550-radeon-r9-fury-competes-with-200350-nvidia-gpus), and it doesn't look like there's any quick remedy. Virtual Programming just releasedDirt: Showdown (https://www.deliver2mac.com/products/dirtshowdownsteam) for Linux, and it's the latest example of AMD's Linux driver issues (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=dirt-showdown-linux&num=1): AMD's GPU results are still far behind NVIDIA's (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=dirt-showdown-linux&num=4), with even the Radeon R9 Fury running slower than NVIDIA's aging GTX 680 and GTX 760. If a racing game doesn't interest you, Feral Interactive confirmed (https://twitter.com/feralgames/status/633571081765453825) they are releasing Company of Heroes 2 for Linux next week, but only NVIDIA and Intel graphics are supported (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Company-of-Heroes-2-Linux).
