Title: verify freesync Ubuntu 19.04 + mesa + RX 480

hi all,

So I run Ubuntu 19.04 with the default drivers (Mesa 19) for AMD Rx 480, my monitor is freesyc compatible 45-75hz. Is there a way to verify that the freesync is actually working? I was comparing some games vs Windows and when fps drops below 60 Ubuntu feels much less smooth. Tested games were mostly via Proton.

Cheers!
