I was obviously referring to proprietary drivers, because anyone serious about gaming with AMD (at least for recent games, older ones can run fine on FOSS ones) will have to use proprietary ones. Note that Mesa is still limited to 3.3 OpenGL support and FOSS drivers do not go over that limitation yet either (hence there are less and less modern games using OpenGL 4.x that will run on FOSS drivers).



I'm playing modern titles and use only the free radeonsi drivers. The "serious games" I tried work just fine.


Try Metro Last Light on the free radeonsi drivers and we will talk again.


"Metro: Last Light Redux" (which is the only game by the name "Metro: Last Light" they have) is not available for Linux on Steam. How would I try it?
