This 2D bug on new AMD cards (2014 - 2018 release):
- Radeon HD 7XXX;
- Radeon R5, R7, R9 series;
- Radeon RX 400, RX 500 series
with RADEON Driver - from Catalyst v15.7 to RADEON Crimson v18.7.1 (all versions)
================================================================
Video demonstration this problem:
Experiment #1:
RADEON R7 360 with "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" (without Radeon driver)
Desktop: FPS = 800-860
Viewing the Spectrum foobar2000: FPS = 750-780
Scaling in P-CAD: FPS = 700-800
Normal 2D performance!
Experiment #2:
RADEON R7 360 with Radeon driver v18.7.1
Install driver - win7-32bit-radeon-software-adrenalin-edition-18.7.1-july12.exe
Desktop: FPS = 1280-1320
Viewing the Spectrum foobar2000: FPS = 27-54
Scaling in P-CAD: FPS = 10-1300
Very low 2D performance!
Resume: "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" works 10-50 times faster, than the RADEON driver
on 2D classic theme Windows 7. NVidia and Intel card there are no problems!
Unfortunately, the bug low 2D performance is present on RADEON drivers only.
