    I will wait till opengl3 with more than mediocre performance happens.
    Still, you cant go wrong with 5870 for performance if you accept proprietary driver.
    Pity opensource has no video acceleration as well. The main shortcoming of evergreen top class is VLIW5, which very often stays incompletely utilized, hence in 6xxx cayman they switched to VLIW4 grouping.

      It has video acceleration, just not decoding.

      Scaling, colour conversion and the like are fully accelerated.

        I found a brand new HD5870 sold at 120?, can't wait to test evergreen support in mesa

            Yes, I will. I'm really, really curious to know if I can get more than 10fps in unigine heaven with R600g

              most likely your driver is not correctly installed. unigine heaven can be used.

                Wasn't the st_glsl_to_tgsi.cpp file added by Plombo in his branch getting rid of the Mesa IR? I don't think it's present in git master or 7.11.

                Looks like that optimization pass is the first one getting called in his code, before a lot of the code removal passes. Possibly Unigine's shaders just use more than 256 temps before being simplified. Whatever the cause, this looks like a problem in his branch only. You could try bumping that constant up to 512 to see if it fixes things.

                  This should probably be fixed in the application.

                  If you are using my PPA these warnings are showed because I build mesa with --enable-debug. These are probably errors in the application, and should be reported to Uningine.

                  This looks indeed a problem with the glsl-to-tgsi branch which I am currently merging in the PPA.

                  EDIT: I reported this to Bryan Cain, hopefully he will fix it.

                    I assume you work via freedesktop.. Do you have some sort of debugging pool - a list with task and detailed instructions, so users with cards can perform the tests and report. Some sort of distributed debug pool. Many people do not program, but many have the hardware to test.
                    I know about fedora on this subject btw.

                      just ask your needs.
                      I know. But purchasing 5870 monster is something not made overnight... given the electricity draw amount over time alone. Its vliw5 card, driver performance is very heavy affected by optimization as far as I understand. Michael did splendid review on nvidia vs amd powerdraw and catalyst vs radeon performance. But still
                      for both drivers on 5870 or very similar architecture
                      1) powerdraw in idle and in performance modes, speed and intelligence of switching (you need external 10? measurement device for this)
                      2) 2D, compiz and 3D bugs
                      3) -"- features
                      4) -"- performance(in native games and compiz)
                      5) opencl... please?
                      6) wine (sometimes, 2d and 3d - say fallout2 and painkiller)
                      7) monitor support
                      8) detailed setup, its ok to have 160 page, but have it covered. Preferably in one place.
