Michael, do you know these screenshoted ads bring no income at all?



So it's just a gratuitous aggression that profits to no one. Hey, how you can ask people to subscribe if you display ads even to those who subscribe to not get them?

Remember that ads are aggressions, nothing justifies aggressions, but the worst ones are the gratuitous ones.

You failed to ensure your readers will not get ads if they subscribe.

Michael, if you subscribe to Phoronix Premium then you won't get the ads

You're complaining about how I crop a screenshot for an article?

Aggressions?
I can understand "annoying", but reacting so bad to a screenshot with a couple ads is unjustified.

Shh! Don't you see he is boosting his own ads viewcount this way?

I don't have a CIK gpu I don't think, one SI, two VI and one Polaris

Just a note: Kaveri is GCN 1.1, although I suspect your machine(s) might be 8-core Bulldozer or N-core Intel because those can compile C/C++ code faster than Kaveri.

you need a class on micro aggressions.

After cropping apply some DoF so we can focus on console

Wasn't Vulkan supposed to be faster than OpenGL? Running at half the frame rate does not do much to recommend it...

Vulkan allows better utilizing multiple cpu cores, and reduces cpu overhead. It doesn't automatically mean things are faster, it just means the potential to be faster is there.

If you can't use the GPU at full potential, all the saved CPU cycles are useless, and right now there's a lot of optimizations that the Vulkan driver doesn't yet use.
