Well, that's the round-up of the Catalyst 15.9 Linux benchmarks. Sadly, Shadow of Mordor still isn't benchmark-friendly and haven't heard any update from Feral Games on that. Company of Heroes 2 is also being an issue for proper benchmarking support. Due to whatever change with Steam, BioShock Infinite was also crashing.

From the tests carried out, only Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was faster while all the other OpenGL tests were basically the same. It seems the Catalyst 15.9 driver fixes are mostly about updating/adding application profiles as opposed to any broad OpenGL driver optimizations. Stay tuned for more tests shortly on Phoronix.
