Phoronix: Open-Source AMD RS690 3D Support

Can anyone tell us which is the state of the open source driver radeon for this card compared with the latest 9.3 Catalyst?
This because it has been said that futures versions of Catalyst will not support this cards (x1200, x1250, ...)based on RS690 chip.

Dude... talk about a zombie.

Anyway, the RS690 works decently with 3D. I have one in my desktop. Well enough to run glxgears and Compiz at least. This has been covered in numerous other threads.
