Summary: "Last week I posted some AMD proprietary vs. open-source AMD

Linux driver benchmarks using the very latest code. Left out of that

earlier comparison was the R9 Fury series with Fiji GPU as well as newer

graphics cards using the Tonga GPU. These graphics cards are supported

by the AMDGPU DRM driver rather than the long-standing Radeon DRM

driver. As I've been mentioning a lot this week, Linux 4.5 will bring

the PowerPlay power management / re-clocking support to AMDGPU. In this

article are showing benchmarks of the Fiji and Tonga GPUs under Linux

4.4 and Linux 4.5 DRM-Next along with the Catalyst 15.9 driver as

shipped by Ubuntu 15.10."
