Image Quality Comparison: Radeon Gallium3D vs. Catalyst

[Sonadow]

you fail to make a difference between a insult "personal attack" and a ''''statement of fact''''

A Mental Nazi or Mental Racist or Mental Fascist think he has the only True 'thinking' and he can speak for ALL people in the world and because of this he think he can use his words as a absolute truth-utterances Weapon !

i only point out this FACT! no one can say that ALL people can't read a Ironic point in a Ironic market sentence only because he think or his buddies think its not ironic.

and this is the biggest "Irony" you really think you are "Right" but not only Right you think you have the absolute holy truth for ALL HUMANS but this only prove me right and because of this my writing is a ''''statement of fact'''' and this is protected by the Freedom of Speech !

And I dare say i speak for AT LEAST 50% of the active forumers here when I call you an idiot of the highest level and that you have completely ZERO 'facts' to back your claim.

Oh, and one last thing: I am an intern in media law, with particular focus on defamation and libel. And might I so casually point out that Brigman CAN bring a defamation case against you, complete with a very, very high chance of winning it.

Guys, let's just save our brain cells and ignore that numbskull. He is not worth the effort of even typing out a reply on the keyboard / smartphone / tablet / <insert Internet-capable device>.

Back on the topic, does anyone get the feeling that the renders from the open drivers look as though they were captured behind a pane of black-tinted glass that has been glazed with a layer of Vaseline at certain areas? Not to mention that you can also make out some obvious 'jagginess' in the open driver renders that are clearly not present in the binary driver renders.

Probably the most jarring difference is how the bulletholes and pockmarks in the floors and walls clearly appear watered-down and nauseating compared to those in the proprietary binary driver.

At least, at this point of time, the open drivers are still behind AMD's own binary drivers, but if anything, it is of some consolation that the gap between them has been narrowed considerably. And anyway, most of us only need them open drivers to be good enough for Wayland, Compiz, and hardware accelerating that handful of 3D games at speeds above 30fps, no? If that's the case, the open drivers are already good enough for that.

for you and your fascist buddys its not irony and not funny and your mental racism clan want do burn other ideas with fire!

Seriously, Q, calling people racist fascists hasn't been cool since grade school. Stop with the personal attacks.

Forum rules state: "By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws."

I consider your recent posts very hateful, and i honestly can't even tell if you mean them that way or if this is supposed to be more irony (actually it would be sarcasm).

Hey Q,

I don't know if smitty is a "hardcore fundamentalist", but I agree with his preceding statement.

Just for the record, i'm not a fundamentalist. Nor am i a fascist, and I find it rather insulting to be called one.

However, it's clear Q is just trolling. We should ignore his antics.

Full-screen quad mapping bug?

Hi,

Usually bloom is a post-process rendered to a full-screen quad but you'd need to see the game's source code to be sure (is this it? http://dev.xonotic.org/projects/xono...ository_Access). It looks like the mapping could be wrong in the open driver or it could be a bug in the game's source. Usually the approach is you render off-screen to a texture that's bounded to a framebuffer object, then you assign it to a full-screen quad and blend it on top of the rendered screen before calling swap via GLX/EGL/whatever. Now the gallium driver might be getting confused with UV co-ordinates and isn't placing the texture in the right spot (it looks offset, perhaps it is expecting a signed value and the UVs 0.0f,0.0f could correspond to the middle (with a UV range of -0.5f,0.5f) while the catalyst driver has 0.5f,0.5f as the middle (with a UV range of 0.0f,1.0f), something like that as a guess, or it's a shader bug.

I can't view the source to be sure, is there a web portal to view it without downloading the whole thing?

WTF you are a hardcore fundamentalist! You really think you can speak for everyone in the world.

this is nothing more than mental Fascism !

shame on you!

Hey Q,

I don't know if smitty is a "hardcore fundamentalist", but I agree with his preceding statement.
I am completely sympathetic to you not being a native English speaker, so I generally just take best guesses as to what your posts are about, however you do have some interesting views (which is FINE), but because of that it makes it really hard to know when you are being sarcastic/ironic, at least for me, and judging from the posts, for others as well.
Obviously you can post however you like (at least until a mod says otherwise), but understand that if you actually want to be completely transparent with regards to meaning, sarcasm tags WOULD be helpful (understand, however, that sarcasm is usually taken to mean a certain amount of intent to hurt someone, while irony CAN mean the same thing, it isn't necessary to be hurtful).

I'm not going to reply to ALL of your past reply, just a few bits. The truth of it is, most of that post didn't even make sense by the time you translated it into english...

1. how can a statement be ironic (regardless of your tags), if it doesn't make sense??? (in english).

ANSWER: It CAN'T be ironic because the statement didn't make any sense, in the first place.

2. Your definition was STRAIGHT UP WRONG. no matter what angle that you try to play now.... it was NOT a matter of taste (on my part). You wrote a definition, it was incorrect... you then quote-mined my definition, but by the very act of quote-mining - you disregarded an important part of the definition... you then went on to say something was ironic, which wasn't ironic (furthermore, what you wrote didn't make sense) ~ it was just sarcasm. That's not a 'matter of taste', its a matter of FACT.

3. I never said once that i specifically had a hi-IQ, nor did i even imply it. I simply pointed out my own doubts about *you having even an average IQ* ~ and there is a HUGE difference between the two. but you just keep spewing nonsense that supports my observation of you having a low-IQ. awesome That's your problem though, not mine.

4. I have no problem with germans or any other nationality or group. But yeah, i do have an issue with you, you're a troll and your 'ironic' behavior; of trying to school english speaking people on how the english language is used/defined ~ when you, yourself seem pretty much incapable of actually writing an even moderately clear, concise and coherent sentence or two.

5. gotta address this;

you are happy about your native speaking language without any disorder right?
the problem is not my definition the problem is your taste you just don't have the same taste and because of this your Mental Fascism force you to blame me. Irony: Hail to the new Leader NINEZ!!! HAIL NINEZ!!
Irony: nothing what a good Genocide can't fix! the dumb sup-humans with the degenerate name "Germans" must be punished because of there bad English skills!
Heil ninez heil ninez

seriously??!! are you really this ignorant and stupid???? go back to my previous post, or just read #4 ...It has nothing to do with the fact english is your second or third language, and absolutely NOTHING to do with being German. The Fact is I called you "a dumb german troll" ~ because 1). you come across as being really stupid/ignorant/dumb. 2). you ARE german (but german was only mentioned in the context of language)... 3). by all accounts ~ you are a troll! ...It was NOT a comment about 'germans' in a general way. I was talking about YOU - and NOT anyone else! ~ Again, read #4 or goto the previous post, where this has already been discussed at length, moron. - you can try to twist words all you like, it's not working shithead.

6. What is your obsession with Fascism?!?!

Quite frankly, you can keep your nazi-talk to yourself. Maybe you find that kind of stuff 'cool', funny or interesting, but i don't. Nor does it apply in any capacity to me, things i have said or my points of view. I also haven't heard of this film you speak of, nor do i give a shit. But i got to wonder, maybe this is actually something that you are into ~ being as you bring it up any chance you get.

Q, you're a pathetic little ignorant loser. Straight up!

The Radeon Gallium 3D is inferior. It was pointed out on the first page of this thread, the enemy photo has a rather noticeable blur between the legs with the Radeon graphics. What is that from?

[smitty3268]

Q, stop thread jacking

Are there any admins on Phoronix who can just delete every post in this thread not related to image quality? It'd probably only leave 3-4 left, but at least they'd be relevant.

That's what i thought, you just want to troll. Thanks for clearing that up.
