Any idea what might be wrong?

Have you tried out Tomb Raider and its benchmark?
1. I don't even start steam with mesa, less the Tomb Rider (steam.sh runs, but no GUI is loading)
2. felt like HW rendering with Mesa was not simply there (but got direct rendering: yes in glxinfo), even YT videos had lower framerate (not that they need HW rendering!), If game started (unlike Tomb Rider), I didn't get past menu and framerate was very low (like 1 FPS at best)
I used padoka ppa which is now Mesa 13.1 with same result in all described aspects
To me it seems like I forget some extremely important detail like setting DRI in XOrg or something else? I am not that familiar with Mesa, but googling didn't really help me understand what might be the problem (before when trying Padoka PPA, I was able to get nice results on AMD 280x though with no extra steps).
glxinfo: http://pastebin.com/de2npDgh
Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/m0gWiHNF
Glxinfo looks good to me (showing 13.1 devel Mesa + direct rendering - yes. XOrg I am not that sure about, see several errors but I am unable to tell if they are 'sorta ok'.
This one looks sorta explain why there is poor performance though:
[ 14.330] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
Thanks again for any ideas!
libstdc++ and a few others.
Might be wise to wait for a *buntu guy to clarify first though
Edit:
To clarify, that's to use Mesa.
EE about fallback to software rendering is gone from todays Xorg.0.log.

That's after one more reboot (I was rebooting after AMDGPU PRO driver uninstall, and after Mesa Padoka PPA + upgrade install).

Tomb Rider runs, there are some texture glitches, but I guess that's as far as we can get! :)
Thanks a TON to all you guys, I'd not be able to move forward without your help!
