I think it's just a bug in the driver.
There have been many improvements to the driver over the last few years.
Also WINE has added several things... I think it's just a case of work on new stuff invariably messes with the old.
Similar to moving in furniture, you can catch a wall or corner, and mess up all that drywall and/or trim work... End result, you have to fix it.
Using the native Linux version Counter Strike Source, running the stress test, I got the following results over the last few years:
Shortly after I built the PC, running 1920x1080, Detail maxed, 8x AA, 16x Anistropic (sp?) Filtering.
Motion Blur, Bloom and High Dynamic Range all turned OFF.
(Mainly because I hate those "visual tweaks".)
XFX R7 370X @ 1050mhz (factory OC)
Gigabyte R9 380 @ 980mhz (factory OC)
Averages:
With FGLRX:
R7: 273fps
R9: 253fps
R9 OC'd to 1050mhz: 263fps
Any higher and the R9 would be unstable.
switch to AMDGPU/Mesa (RadeonSI driver) (~kernel 4.9):
R9: 233fps
Then:
R9: 213fps
Later still:
R9: 230~ish
Kernel 4.13-4.14:
R9: up to 257-260fps
OC'd to ~1050mhz: 263fps
EDIT: May have been Mesa 17.2.4... Last file I can find on my PC.
Current: Kernel 4.15.2/4.15.3/mesa 17.3 (RadeonSI driver),
R9 @ factory 980mhz: 273.94fps avg.
EDIT: w/ mesa 17.3.5:
EDIT: R9: 276fps
EDIT: It's climbing again.
The highest it's been for the for the R9 EVER, and matching the older R7.
In addition to adding the Polaris (RX 4xx/RX 5xx) and the Vega 56/64 too.
So I'm sure in all of this, plus wine, someone probably commented or typo'd something somewhere.
