The one thing though... There's room left for performance optimizations. The main downside of my initial Linux testing was that the performance wasn't as great as what's been reported under Windows 11 with the official Radeon Windows driver.

I'd love to see some actual numbers. I'm considering getting one for myself, but I'm unsure about how they will perform for the first couple of months until we get proper support

Also, concerning the quotation: Isn't that always how AMD has functioned? Release a card that on paper should perform well but in reality takes a year to mature due to ongoing driver development?

They really need to fix that.
