    Phoronix: Catalyst 15.5 For Linux Brings Some Performance Improvements

    Earlier this month Catalyst 15.5 was released for Linux as the first official Linux graphics driver update since last December when Catalyst 14.12 was released (sans the special fglrx driver packaged by Canonical for Ubuntu 15.04). As discussed by users in our forums and elsewhere, Catalyst 15.5 does offer better performance for certain OpenGL workloads compared to the earlier driver, but the gains aren't universal.

    Is there a way to make this work with XServer 1.17 in Arch? I read that it doesn't support it yet the previous beta 15.3 version did work for me.

          And in reality, as long as EXT_texture_compression_rgtc is broken, not even OGL 3.0 compliance is reached. Is everyone still b***tching about Mesa not having 4.0?

            That is broken for VLIW hardware only AFAIK, probably something more is broken but not so popular to complain much... usual bitrot, support for those will go away soon anyway

            We are in month of Windows 10 release, all the birds talking about DX12 capable hardware

              Hi Michael,

              Were the tests done with a R9 290X or a different model card?

              Apologies if I missed it

                    For opensource driver? According to pciids, no.

                    AFAIK there is no driver for any OS yet, but who knows today something might change
