Even though I am an Nvidia user, I am really impressed by that has been leaked out about AMD's upcoming Polaris.

It was a nice surprise to see Tomb Raider officially supporting AMD hardware. Of course, the level of that support now has to be tested, so let's run some benchmarks!

AMD fans, today is your day to shine. AMD have released what they are calling " AMD Radeon™ Software AMD GPU-PRO Beta Driver, quite the mouthful.

Two long and low quality videos from GDC are now up with Vulkan as the subject, all very interesting with Oxide Games (Ashes of the Singularity) and Valve speaking. I've done some highlights for you.

Thanks to wccftech (and our IRC for the link) I have learnt today that AMD's new processor design named Zen is shaping up very nicely.

Canonical have decided to deprecate the fglrx driver in Ubuntu 16.04. This is hardly surprising news as fglrx, which has always been renowned for being a pain, has steadily becoming more and more of a problem on modern Linux distributions. Even Debian with its tentatively updated packages has surpassed the official system requirements for fglrx.

While AMD may not have a Linux driver ready for Vulkan, they are still getting me excited about it with their blog posts.

AMD are doing some good work around Vulkan, and another blog post highlighting features has arrived. This time they are covering Vulkan Renderpasses.

Considering AMD are in the middle of producing a brand new driver for Linux, it's not surprising they don't have Vulkan ready for Linux right from day one. Still, a shame for anyone on AMD hoping to test things out.

Experiencing performance issues or stuttering in Feral's excellent port of XCOM 2? These engine tweaks might be just what you're looking for.

Sorry for the lateness, but GPUOpen from AMD is now officially open to the public. I really like the way AMD is going doing things like this.

You have seen Liam's port report of XCOM 2 on Nvidia hardware and it's time for me to take a look at the AMD performance. So, let's take the R7 370 on a spin with both the open and the proprietary drivers!

AMD has let the curtain fall on their new 14nm Polaris GPU architecture, and it sounds mighty interesting. I am especially interested in the lower power draw they claim.

AMD are stepping up their open source game again, as they have announced GPUOpen to rival Nvidia's GameWorks.
