AMD Still Struggling With Linux Gaming

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.

...2 games appear not to be supporting AMD graphics processors. That's strange, nearly 1.5 thousand from steam do not have a problem at all.
OTOH, intel's iris' drivers are a joke yet noone bats an eye.
