OpenGL and x-plane - a bad rap?

I am using the RX5700 card in a dell G5 gaming PC running x-plane 11.  I am getting very poor performance.  The rumor on the street is that AMD does not play well with the OpenGL implemented by x-plane.  One side says it just needs to be tuned.  The other side says AMD is failing miserably in their implementation of OpenGL with X-plane 11.

Can OpenGL specifically be tuned in this situation?  If so, is there a tutorial (printed, pdf, video, anything) that I can reference to improve performance.

Is OpenGL the problem or could it be something else.

At the game level I am getting 20FPS.  At the GPU level it is 37.1 FPS (AMD adrenaline terms this as 'average' and the 95th percentile should be 40FPS).

The stats on the GPU indicate it is utilized at about 20% and the CPU about 20%.  I don't think this is a hardware issue.

Any help to improve the situation would be greatly appreciated.

Do you still experience the issue with the latest driver 24.2.1 ?
