This whole post is obvious fud. The real truth is that with open source drivers you have to choose hardware that already works. You didn't look first...

[duby229]

I wouldn't say that at all. CFQ "just works" and that is more important to Ubuntu and Redhat than relatively untested recent code. Honestly...

[duby229]

I been sayin it for decades, but you -have- to benchmark at the settings you play at. Period. Nothing else is going to tell you what you can expect to...

[duby229]

Well, I don't now what you're talking about. The real truth is that there are literally hundreds of linux distributions, some of them are specialized...

[duby229]

No, because IO schedulers are all about managing latency amd write access is still where most latency is....

Dear god, please make this mean that EA games will be available for it and that older retail games can be registered by their pre-existing cd-key.......

Cool, I like it. The startup times benches pretty much shows how the desktop responsiveness would feel.

[duby229]

So there is something important for readers to try to understand here and that is that IO performance is -VERY- much a perceptive experience. Winning...

Cool, so flip the no-op scheduler on and try again, I bet you have a better experience. But for the SSD ypou may want to consider building a new kernel...

And RADV is the community accepted driver of the two, where it receives contributions from all over the industry and amdvlk is completely alone and dependent...

And so I suppose you too are using CFQ, which understandable, but it's not the right scheduler to use for a desktop linux. As I said I would suggest no-op...

[duby229]

I suppose you would have to benchmark your typical workloads and see what works best for you. I did it a few years ago and came to the conclusion no-op...

[duby229]

Sorry to say it, but CFQ wasn't really made for desktop and actually desktops should use the no-op scheduler if they are on a spinning harddrive, if you...

[duby229]

Yes! -THE- reason I don't post at [H]ardOCP anymore.......

[duby229]

FYI, don't click ads, just letting them display on your screen is enough for Michael to get paid....

[duby229]

Irrespective of your biases, you did good here. We all thank you. Now we're gonna get sane behavior out of this.

Also Thanks needs to go...

[duby229]

Linux has real multi-threaded IO scheduler
Windows has no concept at all of IO scheduler...

[duby229]

I wonder how much they would charge you for it? Have you ever looked into it, they might be willing to show off their tech and give you the hookup. Would...

[duby229]

It's ok benchmark run, but it's actually kinda hard to interpret. Here's my interpretation based on my own prior assumptions. It seems like AOCC catches...

I don't think being a good alternative to CUDA will be enough. Of course being a fully open source stack will bring a lot of people in itself that don't...
