Try the AMDGPU-Pro driver instead, the Mesa driver can cause issues such as these

Hi!

IT Gremlin here.

 

Okay, this is the Ubuntu 16.04 "frozen" aka default stable Mesa drivers (which is used by the greatest number of Ubuntu users at this time, all of which have a varying degree of knowledge about such matters):

 

Graphics:  Card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Device 67df
           Display Server: X.Org 1.19.5 drivers: ati,amdgpu (unloaded: fbdev,vesa,radeon)
           Resolution: 1920x1080@60.00hz, 1920x1080@60.00hz
           GLX Renderer: Radeon RX 580 Series (AMD POLARIS10 / DRM 3.18.0 / 4.13.0-45-generic, LLVM 5.0.0)
           GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 17.2.8

 

Attempts to use https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Install.aspx resulted in the desktop environment refusing to load. Could get as far as the login screen but then it would freeze after you authenticate.

 

We are going to meet you half way and try the latest Mesa drivers, which are not necessarily the most stable (Note: devel aka devil in my mind drivers).

Now, definitely, GLSL cuts FPS by half.

Toggling just it on and off in the exact same locations.

Could you define half? is it 300 to 150, or something more like 80 to 40? 

[Baloo 709]

FPS drops to 28-30 when GLSL is enabled, with it disabled FPS is 60
