I imagine a Vega 56 would be even better. Or a 2200G. The question is, does it offer enough performance for your needs? To me, it would be hard to justify...

[GreenReaper]

It is still likely to mean it can no longer compile in a direct call. I don't have figures on whether it has a significant impact, though....

[GreenReaper]

Perhaps there is for senior members such as yourself - I'm not seeing it, even in the markup....

[GreenReaper]

While software video rendering is CPU-intensive, it doesn't strike me as a task involving the kernel, unless data needs to be transferred to or from disk...

[GreenReaper]

There are hardware mitigations, and indeed they are already available in some CPUs:

Well, you have to get away from the idea of selling a game as a product. Instead you're selling the *creation* of a game. For free software the unit cost...

[GreenReaper]

Pretty much. The price of freedom is infernal impotence.

It's still a lot better than my server's MGA200. I had to drop the console framebuffer...

[GreenReaper]

It was the low-high range on the "system power consumption monitor" graph on the page they linked.

As for "cannot", I...

[GreenReaper]

You appear to have confused system power with graphics card power. The PCIe slot limit is 75W (or arguably closer to 66W?). The CPU, PSU, drives, RAM...

[GreenReaper]

I wonder how these benchmarks would turn out now with the latest patches applied - or HyperThreading disabled on Intel.

[GreenReaper]

Yet another good reason to compile without power management in the kernel! (CPU idle notwithstanding).

[GreenReaper]

Being better than Vega56, surely? 😸

Of course, it might just be to help government surveillance of code running in the GPU, what with...

[GreenReaper]

I think it applies to both. The x86 architecture family has an instruction set which is largely shared between 32-bit and 64-bit - so a lot of the code...
