How to enable hyper-z on R500?

[whizse]

i think openarena is the only app with perfect rendering and hyperz enabled... try it with unigine haven! and the floading point texture stuff enabled.

My experience was the opposite, HiZ seems to work pretty well in most games, but there are a few notable exceptions, which I guess is the reason why it never has been enabled by default.

This plus texture tiling and 2d colour tiling would make a huge impact on r600+ cards. We'd be really close to Catalyst.

Isn't the lack of optimisations in the shader compiler another big bottleneck?

It's possible, but the three things I mentioned are major performance boosts which alone might get us from ~60% to pretty damn close to Catalyst.

Call for testing for HyperZ on R600g: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36602

Anyone can edit RadeonFeature, registering is open.

Agreed, I get artifacts with HyperZ and WoW too.

I need to disable HiZ to remove artifacts: RADEON_DEBUG=nohiz. This is with my M66GL (RV535?).
