Summary: "When AMD announced the Radeon R9 Fury line-up powered by the

"Fiji" GPU with High Bandwidth Memory, I was genuinely very excited to

get my hands on this graphics card. The tech sounded great and offered

up a lot of potential, and once finally finding an R9 Fury in stock,

shelled out nearly $600 for this graphics card. Unfortunately though,

thanks to the current state of the Catalyst Linux driver, the R9 Fury on

Linux is a gigantic waste for OpenGL workloads. The R9 Fury results only

exemplifies the hideous state of AMD's OpenGL support for their Catalyst

Linux driver with a NVIDIA graphics card costing $200 less consistently

delivering better gaming performance."
