Mesa 13.0 vs. 17.0 Performance For RADV/RadeonSI: Big Gains For Vulkan, OpenGL Boosts

[pal666]

Because Talos sucks and it always uses the highest resolution of the monitor.

actually it has parameter "rendering resolution" and just scales results to your monitor. but you can run x server in any resolution you like and trick talos

- In a week, only one patch and four lines of new code.

lol, do you understand -rc7 is in bugfix-only mode while -wip is in heavy development mode?

Latest polaris firmware, does not work with stock kernels.

distro kernel packages bundle correct firmware

On the other hand, people should be optimistic and ignore these couple regressions i guess, no?

yes, people should ignore regressions when resulted fps is higher than monitor refresh rate anyway

Michael why you test Talos only at 4k? The FPS is so low, please consider including 1080p test next time/

And Counter Strike too, performance at 4k was already good for this game when compared with amdgpu-pro, but the performance at 1080p lags behind the closed source drivers, so it would be nice to know if there was some improvement there.

Is that RadeonSI and not AMDGPU? If RadeonSI then that is fantastic!

I assume you were referring to AMDGPU-PRO. There is no amdgpu OpenGL driver. I'm only bringing this up because it confuses lots of people here with the kernel module of the same name.

[oooverclocker]

AMDGPU ist the lowest driver level that's in the kernel and RadeonSI is mainly a bunch of OpenGL and Vulkan libraries above it.

Edit: BTW I can confirm these numbers with this resolution.

I have DE :MD and a RX480; I hit 31fps at 1440p on Very high. Windows does 36 with the very same settings.

Thanks, that sounds promising.
