Fresh Arch Linux Benchmarks Of AMDGPU & AMDGPU-PRO

[schmidtbag]

It isn't in the AUR, it's in the lcarlier repo called mesa-git: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...ories#mesa-git

I understand that I might not be able to get the latest version with the 4.10 kernel as you have shown in the article, but why couldn't I just install this:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-cik/

Shouldn't that allow me to least get a recent (but not latest) version of amdgpu-pro for my 290 without the need of recompiling or configuring anything?

I think you should do so

Done, see issue 146

It would have upstream IOCTLs rather than amdgpu-pro IOCTLs, wouldn't it ? So YMMV behaviour of the amdgpu-pro userspace drivers.

First: this is from AUR so you will still have to actually compile it. Second, I really don't know how 4.9 behaves because I didn't test it (while amd-staging-4.7 behaves well for sure, you just need to enable CIK).
