With mesa drivers?
Yes, with mesa drivers. I played through the whole ROTTR with vulkan-radeon without any issues. Mesa is already mature enough. I even used Vulkan to play Serious Sam on my previous Lenovo y700-15acz with R9 M385.

And how is suspend to ram on that? Last time I looked it's a dice roll when it works under AMD, if at all.
Works like a charm. I never shut down the laptop, just suspend to RAM, sometimes hibernate. You may encounter problems with several consecutive hibernates but never with suspends.

I am an AMD fan and running 2 AMD GPUs (APU and a dedicated one) using mesa-git. So far so good.
