    RADV Mesa Driver Now Faster Than AMDGPU-PRO Vulkan?

    Phoronix: RADV Mesa Driver Now Faster Than AMDGPU-PRO Vulkan?

    Earlier this week I published fresh RadeonSI OpenGL Mesa 13.1-dev vs. AMDGPU-PRO results for these two AMD OpenGL Linux drivers given last week's hybrid driver update. Here are some Radeon RX 480 results for Dota 2 with Vulkan using Mesa 13.1-dev RADV and the AMDGPU-PRO 16.40 release...

    It still makes no sense benchmarking Vulkan with a Xeon. It defeats the purpose. Get a damn Celeron for Vulkan benchmarks, it's cheap.

      I guess that when someone install Windows 10 kernel on Windows 7 things probably break

        I don't want to sound douchy but... can't you just run some standard 1920*1080 ? That's what people are using...

          You have no idea what you're talking about.

            It's still interesting to see how far the driver can be pushed if the CPU isn't the limiting factor.

                In what way? The ancient BS that vulkan only helps in cpu bound situations?

                  Not 100%, ideally that would be noot Celeron but some CPU that have more of slow cores...

                  Like some 8 core Atom maybe, that should run Vulkan games fine i guess

                    Playstation 4 has 2x4 CPUs so 8 cores @ 1.6GHz running on GNM/X API.

                    GNM > Mantle > Vulkan ... you have idea maybe now as Vulkan is low level console-like API for PC
