Quoting: Segata SanshiroYeah, good point! But now he wants to undo it, and there's no better man for the job.

The man spends most of his time at Valve with his windows-only VR team though.

Quoting: veccherglad to see the open driver evolving they're my only hope.

Actually support in amdgpu for Southern Islands GPUs will come soon-ish and with that support for the amdgpu-pro proprietary driver.

I've tried the (highly) experimental code that's been released so far and my HD 7970M can play csgo and xonotic fine with the amdgpu open source stack. Bioshock crashes the amdgpu kernel driver though. And power management is still bugged and doesn't work so everything is pretty slow. But it's largely ready.
