This might be a crazy suggestion, but since you're running fairly up-to-date software (I do have some reservations there), have you considered installing one of the distributions officially supported by amdgpu-pro? If the pro shader compiler helps, maybe the rest of it will too.
As for those reservations -- unless you're running some really new hardware and it's absolutely necessary, you probably don't need daily mesa builds. I have to suggest reverting back to your distro's stable packages and removing any pro components (a complete reinstall probably wouldn't hurt). If you're running an older LTS distro and you're using nightlies to get updates, it might be worth looking into Antergos or Manjaro to get a combination of stability and up-to-date packages.
If you really want to use mesa nightlies, you might try taking a page from the debianxfce playbook and try the AMD testing kernel.
Without hardware and OS specifics, it's kind of hard to help outside of generic suggestions like "delete the shader cache" and "check governors".

Some needs them more often, others not so much - maybe as much as something as much often from git every 10 days is needed (particulary for gamers for new game releases and no one else), other needs them only quarterly, third ones semi-annualy, forth ones are good with just one annualy and so on
So who cares, if you use 30 to 50 driver builds annually or just one Gamers needs them more often, while else are fine with one or two.
You are just pissed when using your old Mesa and kernels.
See, most rolling people are fine with 4-5 drivers and kernels switches annually as that is what majorly happen and nothing much else Non rolling are fine even with one annually or going further longterm where most linux kernel users are anyway
But if you wanna troll instead to roll releases and not random git-asses , meanwhile you use git just to troll and for nothing else. Neither you are tester nor developer, nothing - just a baby trollLast edited by dungeon; 17 December 2018, 08:54 AM.

For example, I sold my 6 months old HDMI only monitor when I noticed that the display port gets more attention.
There is nothing wrong with HDMI only monitors anyway, that is yet another reason for you to continue your trolling poemLast edited by dungeon; 17 December 2018, 07:53 AM.

I am not an absolutist, quite the opposite. I think that you are absolute troll, baby troll, who found link on the internet
Mainline kernels do have a partially implemented amdgpu driver, compare the diff column at kernel.org to the AMD wip kernel:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/...-next-4.21-wip
Tell me how much users of that you gained after all this years of trolling, none, zero, zilch... and these who wanna do some testing they know what to do, so please shut upLast edited by dungeon; 17 December 2018, 06:20 AM.

GPUs are still ridiculously expensive. Things will only get better once AMD and Intel release gaming APUs that can replace the sub 200 dGPU market.

I too use R9 Fury for gaming, on CentOS 7 (needed for work) with custom built kernel and mesa (latest stable releases) and repackaged Wine from Valve/Proton repository (https://github.com/leonmaxx/wine-proton). I played tons of games, native and windows games via wine, and I had no visible stuttering.
For those who also have to use CentOS 7 for work and wants to have good DE, I also built KDE Plasma 5.12 LTS it's available on COPR: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/co...s7-kde-plasma/

It is kind of funny to read these forums time to time. Everytime I read an article with a benchmark that actually looks good for the AMD drivers, there is someone in the forums screaming about this is not true and there is SO MUCH stuttering! It is almost like Nvidia is paying some trolls to come in to spread FUD and trash AMD and OSS drivers.
This is simply not true. I have been running the R9 Fury for a couple of years now, playing many games on Antergos (Cinnamon DE) and I do not have any noticible stuttering in any games (List: CS GO, TA: Warhammer 1, DOW3, Cities Skylines etc).

Stutters are normal if shader cache related, but once cached to disk it should fine.
Well, for daily changing drivers versions users i am not sure - maybe users should delete it for time to time, some shit could happen there
People are often not aware of other bugs unrelated to GPU drivers, reminds users of recent EXT4 issues, i even have sound card issue hda-intel, it kind missbehave without power_save off recently and loads with high pitched sound by default for some reason
Yes, your HDD might introduce stutter, even your sound chip/card, sound also eats some resources, etc...
debianxfce is wrong as he is, as he claim one solution for everbody by ignoring everything else If AMD is doing dkms amdgpu rolling driver, so just that driver to use on normal released kernels i could recommend that too, but building RC kernels and to use that all the time is entirely wrong for everybodyLast edited by dungeon; 17 December 2018, 05:18 AM.
