Wonderful - CPU bound scenarios are the biggest issue currently. I'm very optimistic to see AMD GPUs on a comparable level with the open source driver like Nvidia cards with their closed drivers not too far in the future.

Based on the email it seems about pipe_context, which I guess is about rendering.
I'd guess that both could work together based on that.

It'd be nice if Linux had a way to set a system wide FPS limit for battery savings. All the way down to 20.
GitHub is where people build software. More than 100 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.
EDIT: Well not (very) usable system wide (the environment variable FPS needs to be set before starting the task you want to limit.) , but at least is something.

I've had the impression that CPU was a frequent bottleneck to the AMD drivers for a while now, so this should be a very welcome boost and help close the performance gap. Makes me wonder if this actually removes the CPU bottleneck or just reduces it.

Option "TearFree" "on"
This should, in theory, force system-wide vsync at 30FPS. The inconvenience of this is you'd have to reboot or restart xserver every time you want to swap frame rates.Last edited by schmidtbag; 11 May 2017, 10:06 AM.
