AMD Gallium3D & Catalyst Drivers Compete Against Windows

[halfmanhalfamazing]

I look forward to the days when AMD deprecates Catalyst

Someone mentioned 2015, I think 2016 is more realistic, but hey let's not quabble intensely over a single digit.

I can't wait until we can get those developers into the OSS fold!

I will try on arch xD

an nice trick for when arch is installed

nano /etc/default/grub

find GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" and make it

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="irqpoll threadirq radeon.dpm=1 quiet"

well depending your OS, but if you use ubuntu basically kernel and the whole graphic stack, i think there are some external repos that do the heavy lift but i don't use ubuntu so im not sure[ask an ubuntuer]

if you use Arch, just download the latest of each from here http://pkgbuild.com/~lcarlier/mesa-git/x86_64/ and make an pacman -U *.tar.xz, restart and enjoy awesome

btw michael my radeonSI driver 7770 thanks to ag5df runs xonotic ultimate at 720P at 190FPS without glitches, is worth test it later

Yea, these results are quite amazing indeed. r600g even surpassed Catalyst in a few tests. And it's not even *that* far from Windows.

On my apu a8 5600k, it's so slow ..., and I can't watch a fullscren flash without slow fps.[/QUOT

wait for kernel-3.11-rc4 and get mesa stack from git, even my 4350 passive is handling 1920x1080 + 1366x768 dual screen setup with kwin full whistles[raster+gl3.1+advanced vsync] like a freaking boss this days.

btw UVD works very well too even on radeonSI, just get mplayer2+SMplayer2 sit and enjoy awesome

for flash:
"This should be about it... but it actually still didn't work for me. But I found the following fix that miraculously solved it for me: create the file /etc/adobe/mms.cfg, and write in it:
EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1"

it do the magic in with r600g/radeonsi with UVD

another solution is use google-chrome with pepper flash, is bastardically faster compared to regular flash
