Valve Engineer Fixes Massive Performance Issue For RADV Driver With AMD FSR2

[Rauros]

AMD doesn't owe you anything. And it's not AMD that duplicates the work, but the RADV developers.


In order for Adrenalin to make sense, Linux and the amdgpu driver must be able to perform the functions (under the hood) that Adrenalin provides. Otherwise, it turns out that there is a control panel, but the banal color management (or any other function) works with errors.

What is that AMD doesn't owe you anything mean? lol.
No, they owe me good service because I literally paid for that. They are not doing a charity work. I won't go bother open source developers about the features I want them to add since they literally don't owe me anything. But AMD does owe me good service. So as a paid customer I ask them to not duplicate work and start directly contribute to RADV.

Fuck you AMD for refusing to contribute directly to RADV and duplicating work!

After you already refuse to give us a control panel like for Windows (of course with all the drivers improvements needed for that) because you don't have the time / resources for that!

It wouldnt be a proper AMD article without the haters trashing AMD.

Need spellcheck so that there isn't such a gpaing hole in the written article.

of course, if your continued employment hinges on the open driver team not reaching your performance, then you don't find it worthwhile to mention...

Do you have any proof of any collusion happening internally at AMD (if you do, maybe you should leak it to somebody like the Lunduke Journal…) or are you just speculating?

But FFS you have time for all this duplicated work!!!

Congratulations and many thanks to Valve!
No wonder why I still buy games from you even if I don't like DRM and centralized stores that can take my access away any time they want from what I have bought!

AMD already recommended RADV for consumer markets running Linux operating systemsand this community have AMD contributors (some who posted in this forum) working on MESA. Any more complain?

[varikonniemi]

It's amazing that this just plain wrong. We're talking of a buggy behaviour in a niche case (RDNA2 + FSR2 on RADV)

no we are not. We are talking about a not-so-obvious optimization for a specific hardware design.

[varikonniemi]

Maybe they just forgot, or didn't think it worthwhile to mention. We're potentially talking about two completely different teams of developers, miscommunication or no communication at all may happen at times, even so they are still leaps and bounds better than Nvidia, there you can be sure there will be little to no communication between them and Nouveau (except the bare minimum to make sure the graphical session can run so you can install "the real driver"). Nvidia's got their driver and Mesa has theirs.

of course, if your continued employment hinges on the open driver team not reaching your performance, then you don't find it worthwhile to mention...

This change has no effect on the FSR2 upscale pass itself, that part already worked fast without problems before. It's just happened to be that the FSR2 demo scene exposed this particular optimization opportunity, but it ran slow with or without even enabling the FSR upscale itself.
