I've had pretty good experiences with their open source driver running on a HD 3870. No tearing, KMS support, good stability. I don't have a need for much 3D performance, nor do I use OpenCL. I just want something that runs well without crashing, and supports the new Linux 3D architecture (DRI2, KMS, DRM etc.) so it can run Wayland.
