I use rocket league as my baseline because it runs straight in steam under Linux and win10 is no prob 75FPS 24/7 Fedora25 20-30FPS on an RX480.
both under Ubuntu and Fedora. Can't wait for 4.12... can't come soon enough.
4.10 had issues with gaming performance compared to 4.9. Anyone knows if these are fixed on 4.11?
mad max has a vulkan beta build (only on Linux), anyone tired it on AMD?
I thinking of getting a Rx460 for my new build which is based on Intel core i5 7500. I was wondering if this will be a good option. I will be running linux for all my activities (Programming, light gaming). Nvidia cards looks trouble free as per most of the reviews online. And some of the steam games like Grid Autosport and Dirt 3 does not support AMD cards on linux. Any input on this topic is much appriciated.
If you plan to get any rx460, buy at least nitro (with 6pin connector) it can be slightly overclocked ~10-20% unlike mine (has no external power connector 
) also 1050ti seems like good choice too.
if you want to do some light gamimg and use gnu/linux i would go amd because of the drivers. nvidia drivers are really not so good in terms of SELinux and such. There is a thread https://forum.level1techs.com/t/linux-nvidia-security-discussion/113770
Maybe do wait for Kernel 4.12 and Vega cards, then the RX Series will get cheaper and maybe you can get a better card for the same price?
Get a 470 the prices will be dropping soon.

You know the vega code just dropped 
But good work on keeping this up to date.
I know it did but I am really tired of updating this, dropped it at 4.9.3, I think I'm done. If shit needs to be added people can just PM me.
You could make it a wiki page if you wanted

What was the wiki site / do we even use the site?
Well, you can make your post a wiki (not sure if you have the rights, click the wrench and there should be a wiki option.)
What in total does that do?
I did that BTW.
Means anyone can edit it. the other wiki still runs https://tekwiki.beylix.co.uk/index.php/Level1_Community_Wiki but likely seeing if we can get something onsite, and move info over.

my current card is a 480. my internet connection is gargabe though. i dont feel like waiting days to dl it.
Installed xubuntu recently, 17.04, want that kernel, but when I install amdgpu-pro I get this error.
Then on reboot I get a black screen. ADVANCEMENT FROM PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS I can get tty.
So just use 16.10 since it doesn't like my kernel headers?
PRO is made for the 4.4 kernel...16.10 might not work either. Since you are in the 4.10 kernel why not just use the open drivers with the MESA extensions? Ubuntu even has a semi official ppa now : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/ubuntu/updates

I second this. Especially considering how good mesa has become
Im going third on this.
Had similar issues with the drivers on Fedora, went into tty but didnt got it fixed.
Run the MESA until 4.11/.12 when everything "could" be great for all of us.
