My PC has an MSI AMD Radeon RX 580 display adapter, an AMD Ryzen 7 1800X CPU, and an AOC Gaming G2460PF 24" display. The same thing happens on Ubuntu 16.04.4 and Kubuntu 18.04 beta 2: DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --prop tells nothing about the FreeSync (from the AMD's manual), i.e. there are no freesync_capable and freesync parameters at all. Installing the AMDGPU-PRO driver didn't help. Tried on the DP, DVI-D, and HDMI ports.



There is a very strong tearing when just scrolling in Chrome or playing a game (especially on Ubuntu 16.04 which is officially supported by AMD), and the Dota 2 client shows "Failed to initialize Vulkan".

  • Which motherboard are you using? How much RAM do you have, and what frequency does it run at?
