It's great that the RX Vega graphics cards are now running on the mainline Linux kernel, though a bit unfortunate there does seem to be some recent performance regressions. Not only was the RX Vega performance coming up a bit light, the RX 580 too relative to the GeForce GTX 1060. At least those regressions will hopefully be fixed in short order; more benchmarks soon.
