AMD Driver 17.9.3 Tanks OpenGL Performance

[cybereality]

I have the latest AMD driver, 17.9.3, and noticed that OpenGL performance has tanked to less that half what it was previously. So far I only tried DOOM and RAGE, both getting around 30 FPS when before it was more like 75 FPS. I downloaded the driver again (they released an updated exe file on Oct 2nd with the same version number) and did a clean install but performance is still bad.

I noticed this message in DOOM, which I never saw before:

First, it says OpenGL 4.3 and I believe it's supposed to be 4.5. And the thing about Compatibility Profile Context was not there before, if I remember correct. Kind of weird.

I know most games aren't using OpenGL, but has anyone else noticed this?

Did it screw up Vulkan for you in Doom as well? Just curious.

Vulkan is still working fine.

I hope opengl dies out very soon cause AMD drivers always suck with that api. I wouldn't even bother purchasing a new game if it did not already support Vulkan.
