Public bug reported: i have the following issue: If i use a monitor with a higher refresh rate then 60 then i will get nasty screen tearing and flickering. I have a monitor with 75 hz ,a amd rx 480 gpu with open source video drivers. The work-around the issue that i found is to force the gpu power state to high with the command echo high > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level In my opinion this should be a High importance because it will offer a pour experience when for every user that it's using open source drivers and a high refresh monitor
