All the AMD GPUs I have, have their drivers abandoned, so likely no speedups for me.

My relevant machines are 3 Linux desktops, 2 running R9 280X, and 1 running an older AMD, something Call Of Duty Ghost edition. Their drivers have been long abandoned by manufacturer and the cool new open source Linux ones don't support that far back. Who can afford > $300 for a GPU; that's crazy.

Before bitcoin made them gay, 300 was only for prosumers and bleeding edge stuff lol.
