I had this problem with my 6850 card. Same problem continues with the rx460 which uses newer amdgpu driver. Unfortunately this driver doesn't have the "EXAPixmaps" option. But I found another option that seems to help the situation: "ShadowPrimary". Here is the Xorg configuration file I used:

Section "Device"
  Identifier "AMDgpu"
  Driver "amdgpu"
  Option "ShadowPrimary"
EndSection

Disclaimer from man page of amdgpu: This may improve performance for some 2D workloads, potentially at the expense of other (e.g. 3D, video) workloads.
