Radeon Ubuntu Linux Users Have A Lot To Gain By Upgrading Mesa

[Dea1993]

Using a RX470, I have issues with mesa git sometimes. But mesa stable is very good with me, no problems at all in Source games.

if i use padoka stable ppa (currently mesa 13.0.3) i've a problem with some gtk apps, colors are strange.
for example image with eog, or buttons in gimp or ccsm.
instead with mesa git padoka ppa i haven't this problem

He updated mesa stable yesterday with 13.0.3. There was a good amount of fixes, maybe your problem got away.

Since we are talking about radeonsi, somebody knows how to skip driver check in Feral or other ports? It's getting annoying now, since the games play just fine and I only need that warning once, not every time I want to play.

One guy reported mud lighting isn't rendered correctly in Portal 2 so all source games don't work? Good troll.

Translation, " Hur durr dur durrrr hur durrrrrrr goodth trollth (lisp for accuracy)"

Listed in this thread (https://www.phoronix.com/forums/foru...t-work-for-you) are;

Dying Light
Cities: Skylines
Unreal Tournament 4 Pre-alpha
Rust

And that is just 3 out of 6 pages of games with issues on radeon. Many of the games literally top sellers on Steam, no big deal.

Let me translate that for you, "Hur dur duuur durrr LERTS OF GERRMES! BROKTHEN! hur dur dur hur durrrr". There, you should understand now.

OK, so you meant "radeonsi" rather than "radeon" then. Got it, thanks.

That's a lot of upgrades from mesa 12.0

X3:AP and planetary annihilation not working for radeonsi? ouchie. You guys are missing out, oh my and Xcom 2 and alien isolation too? Jesus...

I don't know why anyone using Radeon would care. According to that other thread, even Source games don't work on the radeon driver. What the fuck is there even to play to benefit that better performance? Lol, quake 1 from 500 to 600 fps.

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/users/statistics indicates that most AMD Linux users stand to benefit from better open source driver performance.

Great article Michael. I would like to see Dying Light title in your future tests (I can only run it using AMDGPU-PRO) as it still lags behind Windows for some reason.

As far as I know Dying Light doesn't have any automated/reproducible benchmarking mode (if it does, please advise)... Without such support, it won't be tested.
