I did say yes to the upload , have tried registering to but that seems to have problems at the minute. Put a post up asking about that though.

I will give the bioshock one a go

Has anyone built trusty packages on mint 17.1 with wine 1.7 and no issues?

Good!

I'll just follow AMD progress now.

If they keep improving I guess my next GPU will be AMD powered!

Update:

The 15.7's have improved again!

Here's a run of Metro again

I haven't noticed any improvement with 15.7 yet, however I am playing older games - most notably Borderlands 2.

I did have one negative experience with 15.7 though. While running Unigine Tropics it locked up about 30 seconds into the benchmark.

Minimum is still 0 though? Minimum FPS is important. Does it freeze for a second in places?
jamesc359 Jul 9, 2015
The minimum and maximum FPS is rarely important in a benchmark. Mostly because they're often skewed as a result of the benchmark loading additional components or transitioning to another area. A black screen for example is ridiculously simple to render and probably resulted in the 500 max FPS and the 0 FPS most likely occurred during loading. They're really only helpful if you (or the benchmark) throws out the results from such areas.

A proper benchmark would take stuff like that into account.

Well I am not too pleased with 15.5... and its crossfire change.
Kubuntu LTS, 3 monitors, and 2 - 7870's in crossfire or at least I used to...

Before I could specify which of the 3 monitors would get crossfire support, and then when use, my other 2 monitors would remain active. Already pale in comparison to windows but workable.

Now if I try to turn on crossfire, which is now off by default, I am reduced to the selected monitor only.
No more multi-monitor support at all for linux crossfire? or just with my cards on linux?

Anyone else have this?
