Phoronix reports on the open source Radeon 6000 series drivers. They are still broken according to them.

When running OpenGL games and other select workloads, it is choppy as shown one month ago in the video as the GPU keeps being tapped in the wrong way. If looking at the dmesg kernel output, there is a continuous stream of IB scheduling problems. This is a slightly different issue (though perhaps related) to the GPU lockup issue that I created a bug report on FreeDesktop.org back in April, but it remains open to this day. This issue has also reportedly affected others, for some even experiencing GPU hangs from the desktop when Compiz is active.
