I have amdgpu-pro-opencl-19.30.838629 and xf86-video-amdgpu-19.1.0 and haven't had any problems in the 3.5 years I've had this box. Do you have the opencl driver installed? I don't know whether you need it; I have it for BOINC projects. That version of amdgpu-pro-opencl is the later of just two in the portage tree; the video driver has no other current versions. -- Regards, Peter.
