Support Marek
A great think to help Marek is to buy him a beer or two. In his account you have his paypal address.
Marek, you already have my 20? of thanks.

Most of the kernel code is executed in another thread and runs in parallel with Mesa most of the time. You wouldn't probably even notice if the kernel code were twice as slow.

I need just to wait till cards stabilize more, then he has 50? from me! However, this will happen unless Intel makes powerful GPU. In this case, it will be a hard decision!

I have one question. Marek, after you finish r600g re-factoring what is next? Do you have the will to optimize r600g shader compiler? If yes, will you be using LLVM back-end for this endeavor?

Originally posted by crazycheese View PostMarek, it would be just outrageous, if you guys fix the card bottleneck. Rise the performance to at least 60% compared to catalyst, where possible before moving further. This will justify people to use and purchase AMD cards for your driver. There is little sense widening OpenGL support if barely anyone can use this fruit on AMD cards. You work will just spread out to other chips, that have already that bottlenecking solved. Please!
