AMD Still Struggling With Linux Gaming

Posted by Soulskill on from the some-things-never-change dept.

An anonymous reader writes: AMD's Linux gaming performance has been embarrassingly bad, and it doesn't look like there's any quick remedy. Virtual Programming just released Dirt: Showdown for Linux, and it's the latest example of AMD's Linux driver issues: AMD's GPU results are still far behind NVIDIA's, with even the Radeon R9 Fury running slower than NVIDIA's aging GTX 680 and GTX 760. If a racing game doesn't interest you, Feral Interactive confirmed they are releasing Company of Heroes 2 for Linux next week, but only NVIDIA and Intel graphics are supported.

    Get it together, competition in the market place is good for us all!

      Hence why they're putting so much effort into open-sourcing as much of their drivers as possible, while working with the community to make what remains a binary blob more secure. It takes time to fix your mistakes and get your shit together, but that doesn't mean they're doing nothing about it. As a bonus, the same effort may also potentially be helping to fix their shitty Windows drivers.
