I've only just started it but Alien: Isolation is looking awesome on my RX 480 thanks to this. Well nearly awesome. Having had a HD4670 until recently, I'm still getting used to this level of awesome but even I'm finding the anti-aliasing a little lacking, perhaps even non-existent? I've tried all anti-aliasing options but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Anyone have any tips?

Can't really help but do tell us how the RX 480 is working. Also do you know where LLVM is helping the most?

Not sure what you mean but this game didn't work at all with Mesa until this version of LLVM because it needs compute shaders. Gentoo has 3.9-rc3 masked and there were no changes for the final release so I went ahead and unmasked it.
