More AMD PowerPlay Fixes Queued For Linux 4.9

CPU model dees not metter if it sit much lower then on windows... with CPU bound i usually mean app scenario and driver is generally more CPU bound then it should be, so there is no what to feed your GPU enough to be used more.

Ah, I see. Tomorrow I might see if I can look at CPU and GPU monitoring options while running the AMDGPU Pro stack with Dying Light, and compare the results to Windows.

Well, on Windows I already know both GPUs are maxed out because I can see the LEDs on both cards fully light up. But on AMDGPU (with either Mesa or proprietary user space - it doesn't matter) those LEDs don't work properly so I can't tell at a glance. That's another issue with the Fury X GNU/Linux drivers right now.

Harry's talk is more about the DAL component itself - everyone is buried working on new HW support right now so I expect we'll get back to upstreaming in a month or two.

Wait, what new hardware support?

boltronics you can try radeontop, i have GPU which is not supported by pro driver by now so i don't know for sure but it may work.

export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=5.0
export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3COMPAT

second assignment overwrites first one, remove it

Always watch CPU with GL, there are tramendious amount of CPU bound games... Vulkan is not invented for nothing

[pal666]

No, it's a component in the free software stack and the hybrid stack

i know and you can't contrapose it to free software stack

Ahh.. yes, what an oversight that was. For some reason I had it in my mind that I was using two different environment variables.

However, commenting the second line makes no difference (aside from removing the OpenGL version pop-up warning from the game completely). The screen remains completely black, but I can hear the audio. I have the Steam overlay with the FPS counter and I can see different frame rates showing for the intro video and the main menu (which can be brought up by hitting space twice with about a second or more between each press). I can then exit the game cleanly by hitting Escape followed by Enter. So all game behaviour seems normal except no picture.

I never meant to, as I already clarified above.

[frosth]

boltronics... and you should override GLSL rather than GL:

MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=450

GLSL and GL will be on the same level.
