While looking at the FFT single-precision performance is at least interesting and shows some good competition from the Radeon side with the RX 480 / 580 coming out ahead of the GeForce GTX 980 while the Radeon R9 Fury is coming up in line with the GeForce GTX 1070.

However, with SHOC's OpenCL MD5 hashing test, the ROCm 1.6 driver stack was crashing every time.
