Mesa's Radeon R600 Gallium3D Driver Now Has NIR Support Under Review

[smitty3268]

Are there plans to remove non-NIR stuff?

This is still a VERY long way from being usable.

In terms of other drivers, VMWare doesn't use NIR and won't anytime soon so TGSI support will stick around for the forseeable future no matter what.

i doubt there are plans to remove vmware and virgl drivers

I believe that when the NIR driver gets feature and performance parity with the old TGSI path, the TGSI path could then be removed.

Whatever happened to FP64 support?

Big thumbs up to Gert for this work.

Hopefully they can make NIR the default for the Radeon R600g driver when Mesa 20.0 stable gets released.

Mesa 20.0 is shaping up as a big NIR release or possibly even THE biggest NIR release.

Wouldn't that more or less make r600 support DONE?

I hope so... Although I am just now seeing https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pa...penGL-4.5-Hits which looks like what I've been hoping for... I thought for sure my HD5770 would be supported but this looks like HD5800 is the minimum.

That makes it five of us cheering for Gert's work on R600! I can't wait to see it surpass the Windows driver in every regard possible.

Nice, Happy for this... Soft floats are still on my wishlist.
