The Windows driver is still more buggy when you keep the additional features out of consideration.

But does [email protected] even work with rocm? If not, why not, and why does clover already work? I'd assume that you can simply forget about rocm for consumer/prosumer...

Works in mpv, but not with proper power saving and not in Firefox....

[aufkrawall]

Meanwhile mpv just disabled compiling of GLX backend and vdpau-vaapi wrapper doesn't work with dmabuf in Firefox. But I guess Nvidia users can still have...

It indeed works here on Polaris, which is a great achievement. Though ppd are still way lower than with amdgpu-pro Orca CL driver.
clinfo also still...

[aufkrawall]

Thanks! So that means everything that works on Windows should also work the same on Linux with the -pro CL drivers, unless it's a specific bug?

I wonder if the PAL based OpenCL driver is deliberately disabled for Polaris based GPUs? Could bridgman or agd5f tell us whether PAL/Orca based OpenCL...

I haven't experienced crashes of shell, kwin or Dolphin on Xorg in ages, so don't expect everyone to agree with you there.

Seems clueless users like to prematurely blame AMD for every issue their systems show. Perhaps Linux is not the right OS for them, which they of course...

Performance of games isn't affected by turning off GPU accel. inside Steam UI (it can actually be better since this saves some MB of VRAM)....

[aufkrawall]

It had been worse than now, I can run Steam normally (apart from the flickering and GPU accel. has to be turned off) in staging-tkg and run games normally...

The AMD Windows D3D11 driver doesn't deserve all that bashing it regularly receives. There are a few exceptions, but in a vast number of titles CPU bound...

[aufkrawall]

That doesn't make it automagically work with HDMI. I read that such converters break VRR....

[aufkrawall]

Does VRR still work?

50% performance hit is only with Nvidia in select titles, it's usually hardly more than 15% with Radeons (and often far less).
Doom (2016) runs...

What is the status on merging/replacing upstream?

[aufkrawall]

Your movie example is pointless, as it's not suited content to spot stutter reliably. The vsynctester.com vsync indicator is a completely different story....

Never seen this and I'm autoscrolling all the time....
