Linux 4.5 AMDGPU vs. Radeon vs. Catalyst Linux 4.5 AMDGPU and Radeon DRM benchmarks with Mesa 11.2-dev Git and LLVM SVN back-end via Padoka PPA when testing the Radeon R9 290 under all three, including the experimental CIK AMDGPU support. DRI3 enabled and swapbufferswait disabled. Tests for a future article on Phoronix.com.
