AMD GPU performance problems, constant high fan usage

susecmail · March 27, 2017, 7:12am

After not having my computer for about a year, I came back to find that AMD is no longer supporting fglrx and Leap 42.1 and 42.2 were out. I ran into the fglrx driver issue after having installed 42.2 and 5-10GB worth of downloaded software; now, my system is running horribly, VLC is glitchy and the system fan is constantly running.

Are there any fixes for this or am I screwed until I can by a new system? Are there any changes I can make that will help performance?

My system: Gigabyte Brix




  - CPU: 1.7GHz AMD A8-5545M, Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz available with proper BIOS settings 
  - 16 GB 1333MHz DDR3 RAM 
  - AMD Radeon 8510G (integrated) 
  - Crucial 240 GB Internal SSD ‑ mSATA ‑ M500 ‑ SATA 6Gb/s

I have openSUSE 42.2 LEAP installed:




  - Enlightenment base install 
  - openbox DE 
  - Linux 4.4.49-16-default x86_64 
  - encrypted LVM, with a separate /boot partition 
  - ext4 Files system on everything 
  - Partitions:
[LIST]
  - /boot 1.56GB 
  - swap 16GB 
  - /<root> 45GB 
  - /tmp 10GB 
  - /var 10GB 
  - /home 140GB 


    
[/LIST]

I see unusually high CPU usage when using VLC, The Gimp, and even Firefox. My glxinfo output:

OpenBSD, Windows 7 and Void Linux work better than openSUSE and produce seemingly less CPU/GPU usage and fan noise. Void Linux is out of the question, a lot of their packages don’t install and I have no desire to track down dependencies like it’s 1999 again. OpenBSD is great, but it won’t run some Linux binaries that I would like (okay, some games!). And, Windows 7 has the best CPU/GPU performance, but, well, it’s Microsoft. openSUSE 13.x, using fglrx, did not have these problems.

I am thinking about re-installing openSUSE 42.1 with fglrx, but I live in Alaska where we still have to pay for “heavy usage”, which means, downloading 5-10GB of installs a couple times puts my family out as we have to pay exorbitant prices for overages.

I’m at a loss, and wish I would have read the notes during install. That teaches me to assume that what has been will always be. If anybody has suggestions or advice, I would greatly appreciate it.
