System Information
Operating system: Linux-5.3.0-26-generic-x86_64-with-debian-buster-sid 64 Bits
Graphics card: AMD Radeon VII (VEGA20, DRM 3.33.0, 5.3.0-26-generic, LLVM 9.0.0) X.Org 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 19.2.1 <<<<< INCORRECT (amdgpu-pro is installed, and i know blender is using it because it wouldn't even detect the OpenCL device untill amdgpu-pro was installed)

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.82 (sub 6), branch: master, commit date: 2020-01-27 18:52, hash: 507a331f01

OpenCL performance on Radeon VII now seems to be even worse. Takes 3 hours to render a frame that takes 20 minutes on a ryzen 5 3600. GPU fans are all spinning at top speed so I know the GPU is being used.

As additional information, I was only able to install the AMD drivers with this guide/script
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97fj4bGJxVM
because I have updated my Ubuntu. I'm not sure if ROCM or dkms is working properly.

@cerebral Can you give us more information like .blend file to test and which version we sholud use as a baseline for comparison?

Cycles needs to the legacy OpenCL drivers, ROCm will not have good performance.

./amdgpu-install --opencl=legacy --headless

finally bit the bullet and downgraded to 18.04 to use the exact official drivers
but apparently it STILL won't install on this kernel

after running

./amdgpu-install --opencl=legacy --headless

i get

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.3.0-28-generic (x86_64)

The 19.50 amdgpu-pro drivers work for me on Ubuntu 18.04.4, but this is with Linux kernel version 4.15.0.

Maybe the amdgpu-pro drivers are incompatible kernel version 5.3? I'm not sure, I can't immediately find information about it. On the download page it say they are for Ubuntu 18.04.2.

There are many reports about similar issues with the amdgpu-pro drivers online. But this is not something we can fix on the Blender side, besides getting ROCm officially supported and working through any issues with that. But that's a bigger project, outside the scope of the bug tracker.
