Penguin Recordings's video: AMD Linux Crimson Benchmark

This is not one of my better videos, but it does contain information regarding Crimson performance for AMD users who game on Linux. Timeline links: Intro 0:38 Slide/PR dissection 1:22 Graphs 4:27 Summary 6:04 I cover all four games that were mentioned in AMD's PR slides. I also include the RadeonSI performance where applicable. If you're wondering, the Linux Crimson driver did NOT get the UI overhaul that the Windows Crimson driver did. We were left out. This video took several days to benchmark, record and edit. I did a lot of reruns for recording and couldn't quite get things right. On top of a lot of difficulty getting Catalyst 15.9 working in Ubuntu 15.10, I also ran into a lot of segfaults with Kdenlive during this time. The background noise was also horrendous during recording. There was a work site nearby that decided to go top-notch noise pollution for each day I tried recording. I seem rushed in this as I'm trying to grasp every few moments of silence that I could. I say "additionally" way too many times in this video, so I can understand if you get annoyed. I'm annoyed by it. My sincere apologies for a low quality video this time around. The Crimson Linux driver used in this video is 15.11, the official initial Crimson driver. There is 15.12 at the time of this upload, but it makes zero difference in performance thus far. RadeonSI information: Mesa 11.2-git, LLVM 3.8, Kernel 4.2. All benchmarking was done on Ubuntu 15.10 64bit. I did this video to the best of my knowledge. I am not infallible, if I've done something wrong please help correct me. Hopefully some useful information can be obtained from this video.
