WIth Mesa 11 and DRI3 support, the radeonsi driver is sometimes slower, sometimes fast than the Catalyst driver and you could say overall on a par with it. Time for me to do the switch and say goodbye to Catalyst.

CPU: i5-4670
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7870
8GB RAM
Arch Linux 64bit (testing + mesa-git repo)
Kernel 4.2
"KDE 5"/Plasma 5.4 with desktop effects disabled
Mesa git (Sep 2015, ~11.1)
radeonsi git (Sep 2015)
DRI3 enabled

In order to get Shadow of Morder working, you need (besides the git-versions of driver and such) the following launch option in Steam:

force_glsl_extensions_warn=true MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE=GL_ARB_arrays_of_arrays %command%

Though some effects like rain are missing.
