When are you going to be updating your Linux AMD driver info?

Your information on Linux AMD video drivers is seriously out of data.

The Mesa AMDGPU has been outperforming the AMDGPU-Pro driver now for at least 2 years (thanks to some great help from Valve and AMD.) It now has substantially more features (closing the last feature gap, GL SPIR-V extensions, a few months back, one that SoTA doesn't use yet.)

The RadeonFB-Mesa infrastructure hasn't been used by mesa for a long time, switching instead to the KMS infrastructure.

Meanwhile, fglrx doesn't even run on 64bit, which Shroud of the Avatar now requires. Mesa R600 also supports more OpenGL features with higher compatibility now for the older chips targeted by those drivers.

You should keep an eye on if that performance issue sticking you to an old version resolves itself over these patches as the GC on the newer version of Unity is much better (in the same way that treated sewage is much better than raw sewage, but still better.)

 

I moved to AMD because of open source drivers.

 

Same here, years ago, when the RadeonSI series driver started beating FGLRX.
