Phoronix: Early Linux 4.15 AMDGPU Linux Gaming Tests Indicate Some Regressions

Here are some early AMD Radeon Linux gaming benchmarks using the in-development Linux 4.15 kernel. Unfortunately, there are a few performance regressions...

the regression extends to vega as well, was only getting ~67fps on unigine heaven - i mean, that's the same as Windows - and we can't have that!

Eh, i wish i could run the lastest dc code at all without reverting a bunch of commits. Since about 3 weeks now it reliably hangs my system when a 4k screen is connected.

I guess these regressions will be ironed out by RC1 or RC2

Hmm, I actually noticed a slight FPS increase while playing ESO on my old HD7850.

But maybe that's just because of changing the kernel to 1000 Hz and building with -march=native and all the funky Ryzen config options.

Hi Michael, please can you share the kernel? Right now I running your last kernel 4.13-DC2 for about a month and run smoothly. I want to try the new stuff.

You can grab it now from the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel PPA, that's what I used.
