I want to select one chip to render for my application. And now I know how to select which chip: after set env DRI_PRIME=1 , the second chip will be used. But there is another problem: the second chip's performance is very bad , only 1/4 of the first chip. 

xrandr --listproviders:
Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x7f cap: 0x9, Source Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 6 outputs: 4 associated providers: 1 name:AMD Radeon (TM) Pro WX 7100 Graphics @ pci:000d:33:00.0 Provider 1: id: 0x45 cap: 0x6, Sink Output, Source Offload crtcs: 6 outputs: 0 associated providers: 1 name:AMD Radeon (TM) Pro WX 7100 Graphics @ pci:000d:34:00.0

Here is the results of running glxgears: 
DRI_PRIME=1 vblank_mode=0  glxgears
ATTENTION: default value of option vblank_mode overridden by environment.
5486 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1097.200 FPS

DRI_PRIME=0 vblank_mode=0  glxgears
ATTENTION: default value of option vblank_mode overridden by environment.
19846 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3969.058 FPS

How to resolve this?
