I have an ATI 7780 card on Gentoo linux, kernel 4.8.15 with amdgpu-ucode
20160628, new kernel amd drivers (FLOSS ones), FF 50.1.0, and gnash
0.8.10_p20160329-r1
I can't complain, they are very stable and good. AMD is making great
progress on this front IMHO, though not all features are implemented.
BTW: FF *always* eats CPU cycles. Try qupzilla.
Sincerely,
David
