I am also facing a similar issue.
I also get very low performance when using the DIS Card and the radeon driver
in comparison with the IGD Intel card.

# vblank_mode=0 glxgears
ATTENTION: default value of option vblank_mode overridden by environment.

35715 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7142.853 FPS
34593 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6910.545 FPS

# DRI_PRIME=1 vblank_mode=0 glxgears
ATTENTION: default value of option vblank_mode overridden by environment.
8298 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1659.484 FPS
8313 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1662.389 FPS
8315 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1662.897 FPS

I posted this issue a few days ago on ask.fedoraproject.org but so far no luck:

In any case, I think this is the best place to seek help.
Here are more details on my system:
