Most certainly a GPU/driver issue, please

Give us your exact Blender, OS and GPU (including drivers) versions, as requested in the template!
Ensure both your OS and drivers are fully up-to-date (and use official GPU drivers, not those provided by windows or tablet/laptop maker or open source ones in linux distributions).
Try to start Blender in factory settings (--factory-startup commandline option) (this will ensure whether this is a userpref or addon issue or not).
Try to tweak your GPU driver settings (e.g. try different values between 'performance' and 'quality' if you have such slider, etc.).
Attach as text file here the report generated by Help -> System Info (do not paste it directly in comment).
Launch Blender from the command line with --debug-gpu option and attach as text file here any error printed out in the console (do not paste it directly in comment).

Hi! thanks for the response:

I already provided my system information and exact blender version (blender-2.80-b30d103cf63-win64) which causes the problem (let me know if

  you need more detailed info), as for the drivers I'm using AMD Catalyst 13.9.

I have some updates pending on Windows Update, I'll update everything and try again.
I can't attach a system info using 2.80 since it crashes right after launching it, however here I'm attaching the system info using the latest build of

  blender 2.79 (blender-2.79-920dff35dc3-win64) which works perfectly.

Can you help me with how to start Blender from the command line? I don't know how to start it in debug mode or factory settings using those

  commands.

Thanks!

Hi again, already updated everything pending on Windows Update but no luck so far, I also figured out how to start blender in debug mode as you told me and got this log from cmd, here is the error log attached as a txt, it seems some kind of problem with opengl even though my gpu supports opengl 3.3.

Thanks!

Indeed, looks like buggy driver… win7 is becoming old too, vendors are not always putting a lot of efforts in their drivers for that OS anymore…

@fclem will let you handle that one, feel free to merge in existing task if you think we already had that reported somewhere. ;)

In the system info GL_ARB_texture_gather is listed as supported. But it fails to find it during compilation time.

It seems that someone is having the same problem here: https://community.amd.com/thread/168106

So we need to double check again if GL_ARB_texture_gather is define by the preprocessor in the shader.
