mesa drivers using Compatibility Profile Context

I have recently upgraded to AMD RX 570 GPU and performance of everything that is not OpenCL is bad. asa benchmark i used CSGO at max settings and Blender Classroom render, blender is OpenCL and it performed a bit better than windows, but CSGO was arround 55 fps(I dont play it, so i dont know much about it) but from what i found on internet I should be getting more than 100.

outpu of glxinfo | grep OpenGL is

Re: mesa drivers using Compatibility Profile Context

You could also just have enabled vsync in csgo (or your environment in general) you will want to disable that both in any potential compositor as well as in game. You might also want to check results without amdgpu-pro, from what I hear there are certain workloads mesa fares better at.

Re: mesa drivers using Compatibility Profile Context

I have no idea what just happened, i was trying to solve this for some time and i've istalled amdgpu-pro just recentrly and nothing changed same as without them, but now after removing them i get up to 70 fps, and this is probably now cpu bottleneck. no idea what happened, but thanks for helping
