A Look At The Huge Performance Boosts With Nouveau Mesa 17.0-devel On Maxwell

[Michael]

Is it really too much to ask to add a bar of the performance with the closed driver? Nice to see there is an relative improvement but it totally unclear what the absolute performance of this driver is.

As said in the article, it will come in a follow up article.

Right. Thank you. Looking forward to it.

Did the performance of Gallium-Nine on Maxwell increase, too?

I didn't really follow this topic, but does nouveau support dynamic reclocking already (for any GPU), or not yet?

Not yet.

userspace DRM support cant come fast enough... it will fix a lot of mess.

Thanks. This is the item: https://trello.com/c/0WqnRuER/126-dynamic-reclocking

Sounds like it's still far off.

Great news! That's some progress! But i'm only partially understanding this. Am I right that at some future kernel and Nvidia proprietary driver that these improvements will get fully taken advantage of?
If so this kind of makes a stronger argument for laptop gaming if you can keep the GPU cooled down with one of those laptop vent fan attachments. I wonder what the effects are on efficiency and heat. I'm sure you'll eventually get to measuring those.

Wouldn't it behoove Valve and Nvidia to aggressively get this implemented across all GPU's that can utilize it and enable recording?
