Summary: "The Radeon RX Vega is shipping today and for Linux gamers this

is a serious AMD offering for being able to handle modern Linux games.

But it goes beyond that in the RX Vega launch easily being the most

successful launch ever for a GPU backed by open-source drivers on launch

day. I've been spending the past several days testing the Radeon RX Vega

56 and RX Vega 64. The RX Vega 56 is a very competent graphics card for

$399 USD while those wanting to reach peak performance for Linux gaming

on a open-source system can find the RX Vega 64 for $499 USD. The

open-source support for Vega isn't without some initial setup hurdles

and some growing pains along the way, but it's looking very good for

launch-day and the best DRM+Mesa support we have ever seen at-launch for

the premiere of a new discrete GPU architecture."
