Update: It's out!
AMD Catalyst 15.9 is about to be released, and I imagine it will make a few people quite happy with their progress.
AMD did seem to make strides with the 15.7, with a fair few people reporting much better performance in a few different games, and it looks like 15.9 will continue this trend.
Cheers reddit.
A funny bug fix is the renaming of the Counter-Strike: GO executable (to hl2_linux), which resulted in much better performance. This should no longer be needed.
Also, I do wonder why Alien: Isolation is listed in the Linux release notes, looks like they dropped the ball for whoever is porting it.
It will be available to grab here later. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Good to see them caring for the big games on Linux, and good to see they're obviously working together with the Alien porters! Things are going to improve for AMD users as well!

Seem to be takin note of us nixers at least. The last 2 driver releases have improved perf some what for me. So looking forward to it.
What card may I ask? Runs well on the 290x I have.
Also nice confirmation on Alien:iso Been waiting for that for a while. :D

Define well? I have one (well two but the second one is useless in Linux) and it runs like crap. And when I say crap I mean 30-40 for a game that should run at about 90fps at least.

Now they just need an intuitive way to install the proprietary driver.

I get 80's + @ 1440p with the 15.5's . Magiea 5 64bit. Not played it for a while mind. I'll try it and check now you've said that
Does Metro/borderlands run ok for you?
Edit: mmm your right, mines on High and its bouncing between 40's up to the 100's :S:

I don't have metro but borderlands while technically around 60 stutters and dips constantly. It worse than playing the witcher 3 with crossfire and that's saying something. That's with 15.7 but bear in mind BioShock wasn't that good for me with 15.5 either.
