Always great to hear. I would still like to know how the performance compares to the Windows drivers, just as a reference.

Considering the card used in the test (Radeon HD 7950) and that the latest drivers for Windows 10 are from 2022... I would expect it to be a good comparison in favor of Linux drivers.

Welp. Time to pull my 7970 out of storage. I was planning to pull it apart and put the pieces in a shadowbox on the wall... but if it's 30% faster now I might throw it back in my server and play around!

Huzzah for open source!
