AMDGPU+RadeonSI With Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, One Week Later

[dungeon]

What about always comparing performance against Windows 7 and Windows 10?

That takes much time, if you wanna do it right. To benchmarking right and check everything, you probably need a week or so to do it

But princess is always in another castle since Dota 2 is updated more often

Michael, There is one incorrect statement in the article:

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is also one of the games that makes use of some OpenGL AZDO extensions when available, most of which are sadly unsupported currently by the Mesa/Gallium3D drivers.

RadeonSI supports the majority of AZDO extensions. The main important ones are: OpenGL 4.3 (SSBO, texture arrays), ARB_buffer_storage, ARB_multi_draw_indirect, ARB_shader_draw_parameters. The remaining unsupported extension (bindless textures) won't make much difference for Mesa.

The most important piece of AZDO is ARB_multi_draw_indirect. It also has the highest performance impact.

Then why experts say that Bindless alone is half of the AZDO gain?

What about always comparing performance against Windows 7 and Windows 10? This should give a picture about how far or near Linux is in terms of graphics performance and games for it

That would not work. Games that are made for windows and only ports or even in wrappers, will never have a real chance to win on linux

> llvm 3.9
yes llvm 4.0 has regression, I mentioned about this in IRC 7-10 days ago

Regression is now quite favorite excuse why is something Linux broken.. i would rename it to poor code(r).

Sure, if we had zero ad-blockers and more premium subscribers.... It takes a lot more time to do such comparisons plus more porting of test profiles to Windows, etc.

No need for always and no need for every card.
Every now and then he could throw in one card like the rx 480 to show windows performance for a reference and keep some users happier.
There are so many windows benchmarks out there that we can all search for them and check them our self, this is an linux site and linux benchmarks are pretty rare.

Probably 45 fps or whatever Port runs at 70% average with nVidia... on Windows they get 30 fps but on high 4K

probably low should be substantially faster than high

no, for that picture you should use same renderer on both platforms (opengl or vulkan). we have comparison of l4d2 from 2012 and linux was faster

Always one year away they are. No more, no less.

not always. for some workloads they are many years ago
