FreeSync fails in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, tearing with a Radeon video adapter
My PC has an MSI AMD Radeon RX 580 display adapter, an AMD Ryzen 7 1800X CPU, and an AOC Gaming G2460PF 24" display. The same thing happens on Ubuntu 16.04.4 and Kubuntu 18.04 beta 2: DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --prop tells nothing about the FreeSync (from the AMD's manual), i.e. there are no freesync_capable and freesync parameters at all. Installing the AMDGPU-PRO driver didn't help. Tried on the DP, DVI-D, and HDMI ports.
There is a very strong tearing when just scrolling in Chrome or playing a game (especially on Ubuntu 16.04 which is officially supported by AMD), and the Dota 2 client shows "Failed to initialize Vulkan".

Which motherboard are you using? How much RAM do you have, and what frequency does it run at?

Thanks it works for me, xubuntu 16.04.5 with AMD RX 580.
Should highlight that --output parameter may be different, depends where your monitor is connected. To list all available outputs you may run:
xrandr
In my case it was HDMI 1 port, so command was following:
xrandr --output HDMI-A-1 --set TearFree on
