[18:07] <tomreyn> Hi there. I'm trying to get better performance out of an RX580 on 16.04 with Ryzen 1800X (32 GB RAM), running I've got this Ryzen CPU (1800X) with 32 GB of RAM running mainline kernel 4.10.15-041015 (I have to since the CPU is not fully stable on the hwe-edge kernel and earlier).
[18:08] <tomreyn> I test using the "Shadows of Mordor" game. Its benchmark reports an average of 15 FPS at my native full screen resolution of 3440x1440.
[18:10] <tomreyn> I'm already using the ubuntu-x-swat/updates repository.
[18:11] <tomreyn> It's stable (which I understan is an achievement by itself), just not performing well. Any suggestions?
[18:11] <tjaalton> so you have a hybrid machine?
[18:11] <tomreyn> tjaalton: hybrid how?
[18:11] <tjaalton> hmm or not
[18:11] <tjaalton> ryzen has no iGPU?
[18:12] <tomreyn> no, not the current generation
[18:12] <tjaalton> k
[18:12] <tomreyn> APUs are yet to come
[18:12] <tjaalton> so it's using hw accel?
[18:12] <tjaalton> check glxinfo
[18:13] <tomreyn> glxinfo -B http://paste.ubuntu.com/24582240/
[18:13] <tomreyn> "Accelerated: yes"
[18:13] <tjaalton> right
[18:14] <tjaalton> maybe the driver isn't properly optimized yet in 17.0
[18:14] <tomreyn> the game detects an RX450/480, as does lspci
[18:15] <tjaalton> maybe ask on #radeon
[18:15] <tomreyn> oops i wasnt even aware that exists, thanks
