You're experiencing performance issues in CS:GO on your Ubuntu system with an i7-4770 processor, an RX 480, and 32GB of RAM. Your frame rates are lower than what you see on Windows, which suggests the problem might be related to your drivers or software settings. Since you're using a newer version of Ubuntu (16.04), it's worth checking if the latest drivers are available for AMD. Consider updating your drivers or trying a different one to see if that improves performance.
Radeon cards have consistently received poor Linux support. The open-source drivers were still performing well about six months ago, and they remain as functional or improved. OpenGL is no longer considered top-notch, and Linux hasn't become a strong choice for gaming after two years of use. I eventually switched back to Windows for my gaming setup.
All the AMD GPU drivers are installed but aren't performing well. You won't achieve top-tier results on Linux, though it looks like something might be wrong.
You technically can install "AMDGPU-PRO" graphics drivers, but depending on the game they can actually be worse than the open source ones that are included. This Phoronix article compares AMDGPU-PRO against Mesa and one other (ignore DRM-Next) on a few games. If you're interested here's a video of a guy installing AMDGPU-PRO on UBuntu 16.04, the process will be extremely similar on 17.04. Personally, I wouldn't do it and just stick with open source drivers, but it's your call.
People say AMD open source drivers outperform Nvidia ones, while Nvidia proprietary drivers surpass AMDGPU-PRO. Have you checked if your Mesa drivers are up to date?
