    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.

    ==========================================

    Test #1:

    ASUS RADEON R7 360 2G
    with Radeon driver v15.7.1

    FPS = 4 - 1100
    Lags when moving window = Very big


    ==========================================

    Test #2:

    ASUS RADEON R7 360 2G
    with "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" (without Radeon driver)

    FPS = 510 - 720
    Lags when moving window = No lags
