Blender 2.77 with rx 470 = slow internal render (3d view)

Hello,

I have upgraded my video card last week i went from xfx hd 7850 1GB to a rx 470 nitro+ 4GB, and i wanted to work on my game but noticed that blender ‘internal render’ (3d view) is very slow. The 7850 is like 10 times faster with rotating or going trough the 3dview/space (300 objects 17k faces). When i hit P the rx 470 does what it needs to do, the problem is only in the 3d view (while building the game).

Anyone got this problem or know a solution for this?

I tried:

  • older drivers
  • other blender versions
  • re-installing windows
  • updating open gl/direct x
  • removed the card tried older one (no problems)

Maybe it is due to the card is kinda new and drivers aren’t so great yet, but if anyone knows a solution, let me know please.

Maybe a different “Images Draw Mode” will help (User Preferences->System->Images Draw Mode->GLSL).

That does increase the speed a little bit but it’s kinda not helpful.

#edit
blender also freezes/crashes when alt tabbing after a while.
This is not so much fun like this :frowning:
