System Information
AMD FirePro W9100 32gb
AMD Ryzen 7 1800x 8 core 3.60GHz
32gb ram 2x 16gb
win 10 Pro 64bit

Blender Version
2.79

Short description of error
When set to GPU render and OpenCL the application recognizing the graphic card by name, but render time is really slow at classroom scene test. the estimate is about an hour where the CPU renders the scene in less than few minutes. I noticed that the GPU render does not use any of GPU to compute the render from task manager. also in rendering there is only one render bucket that tries to process the scene. all latest drivers and latest application is installed. Then again I tried different combination of previous version of Blender and previous GPU driver as well, and none worked out. please let me know if the rendering with OpenCL in not for production use in Blender yet. I had hopes that blender is the perfect way for my starting indie game compony.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on a (as simple as possible) attached .blend file with minimum amount of steps

Are you using large tile sizes as needed for GPU rendering?

Which exact 2.79 version did you try? Have you tried the latest daily build?

Dear Brecht
as said before, I used a test scene (Classroom) provided by blender site for testing.
as for the tile size, yes I used variety of sizes from 16x16 to 512x512; issue remains unsolved.
again as said before I used several available versions; 2.79b and older versions such as 2.78c, 2.77a
as for latest daily build I'm not sure; if the latest build is not 2.79b please let me know where I can try that one

what If I change the render engine!?
what is the best openCL render engin avalible for Blender!
my system respond very well to both Vray RT and Radeon Pro renderer inside maya
I know they both have an engin for blender, but I dont know how fast and good they performs here.
well gues I start with them to see if they work untill you guys respond,
I'll post the result if it worked

after installing tons of renderers compatible with OpenCL, only Radeon pro renderer and indigo worked as well as they should be.
most of them worked the same as Cycle renderer.
even though they were set to render with GPU, they either rendered using CPU ( like Lux ) or took them a long time to render;
with the exception of V-Ray which I couldn't make it work in blender.
as for Radeon Pro renderer and Indigo, it took them about 10-15 sec to render the whole scene.
but I'm not sure about going on production phase with either of them.
not to mention the whole new material setups.
does anyone know how reliable they work in belender for production use? (log time animation rendering)

well guess blender is out of question.
it came so far, but not enough

This tracker is for solving bugs in Blender, and this turned into more of a user support issue so closing.
