Why in the hell are you compiling OpenCL tests with OpenMP enabled?

Don't tell me it's still OpenCL 1.1 only.
The non-OpenMP test is land locked at OpenCL 1.1.
OpenBenchmarking.org, Phoronix Test Suite, Linux benchmarking, automated benchmarking, benchmarking results, benchmarking repository, open source benchmarking, benchmarking test profiles
Move these tests to OpenCL 1.2 compliance and you won't see an Nvidia card in the list.

Originally posted by computerquip View PostI'm actually probably going to wait for the Pascal line for my next "big" card. I have a 770 which still does just about everything I throw at it for Linux. Even on Windows, it still isn't pushed around by pretty much anything.
I'm thinking we're coming up on a period of time where graphics aren't going to be able to keep up with hardware instead of the other way around for once. I look forward to a time where I can have cool looking graphics with something that isn't running 100% all the time that heats up my entire room.

This sounds like you're blaming AMD for NVidia not having OpenCL >= 1.2 support.
We all know it's just a political thing NVidia does not provide support for newer OpenCL version.
And this is bad. No matter how great their OpenCL 1.1 support is.
Wait, I thought many problems arise because AMDs OpenGL implementation is stricter wrt the standard.

Thanks, but I always miss a price/performance chart
Lets say more or less the GTX 750 Ti is half as good as the 780 Ti and a third of good as the 980
and actual prices are 160 USD 566 USD and unknown so 2 GTX 750 Ti in SLI that would cost near half a 780 Ti perhaps would almost tie with it (or not) and It is worth to benchmark just because of price/performance benchmark that we usually miss at phoronix reviews.

Nowadays I only target mesa on AMD cards. Not only is it even stricter than the AMD blob, it doesn't have terrible surprising regressions in version X + 1. NV blob is perfectly fine in these regards, regressions rarely, and when NV claims new functionality, it works 95% of the time.

I agree with you though, price/performance chart would be useful. GTX 980 is not the card to get, the gtx970 is(price/performance point of view).
