    Phoronix: RADV+Zink vs. RadeonSI OpenGL Performance On Mesa 23.2-devel

    It's been a while since last looking at the Zink performance for this OpenGL implementation built atop the Vulkan APIs, but with all of the Zink progress by Valve's Mike Blumenkrantz and others, here is a fresh round of testing. This article is seeing how for Mesa Git the performance of Zink on the RADV Vulkan driver compares to that of the native RadeonSI driver while testing with both the Radeon RX 7600 and RX 7900 XTX graphics cards.

    Very interesting test, zink has made tremendous progress in recent times. It is already worth every time to test games and decide what will be more efficient.

      Getting there. Very promising.

        But no doubt this positioning is likely to improve once Blumenkrantz reads this article.
        ehehe
        Very promising progress!

          Michael Very good for back to test bioshock infinite (native)

          In my case stay testing zink on intel anv and results are very good with various emulators and native games, also want test bioshock infinite but need anv add support for some vulkan extensions like:



          https://registry.khronos.org/vulkan/..._priority.html *

          https://registry.khronos.org/vulkan/...al_memory.html *

          https://registry.khronos.org/vulkan/...op_layout.html **



          *this extensions could help with 32bit apps virtual memory on wine and needs too VK_EXT_memory_priority

          **usefull for some emulators when use zink case mgba, meonds and maybe others

          Sparse residency dont have a priority for me, because uhd 630 is too weak for DX12 titles

            Impressive catchup! How was it with the compatibility, did everything you tried ran out of the box?

              Mike is going to have a fun time and an irritated eye twitch looking at this lol.

                Well he did publicly announced that he saw it:
                I read the article
                The engagement is top notch, Seriously though.. many thanks to Mike (for everything in Mesa).

                  Fantastic; it is especially promising seeing Zink win on some of these tasks, even more so to see it so close on some of the Unigine marks (which are absolute GPU monsters).
                  And in particular, when Zink + RADV is consistently close or beating RadeonSI, it'll maybe open the discussion for eventually ditching all the special Gallium3D drivers in favor of Zink when all of the supported targets have adequate Vulkan drivers... at which point Gallium3D can be refactored into Zink itself, and supporting OpenGL well will be a matter of tuning Zink and implementing Vulkan extensions. :+ )

                    Wow.. Amazing progress.
                    Looks very promising.
