Does that mean Nvidia's shader compiler has comparable performance to ACO?
I don't have Nvidia, but from my own testing of the three compilers,...

[user1]

Even when AMDVLK works properly (doesn't regress), Radv/ACO still outperforms it in many cases in native Vulkan games....

[user1]

Yeah, I know that AMDVLK is solely AMD's responsibility, that's what I said in one of my previous comments.

But one thing I don't understand...

[user1]

I actually doubt it's even possible because ACO is part of Mesa, so it's designed to work with the other Mesa components like NIR. Unless someone will...

[user1]

But aren't we talking about AMDVLK-open which is exclusively for Linux? I think that's what he meant....

[user1]

I didn't talk specifically about Steam Deck, but their attitude towards bug reports. As I said, they're barely getting fixed. And it's not just about...

[user1]

I'm pretty sure AMDVLK does game specific optimizations/hacks just like every WIndows driver does to make sure games run well. AFAIK, mesa drivers try...

[user1]

They actually use the open one, although I don't know if it's modified. Google didn't explicitly say Stadia uses AMDVLK, but it said that it utilizes...

[user1]

Like it or not, Proton is now a central part of Linux gaming and it's Valve's central focus with the upcoming Steam Deck. And that's the problem with...

[user1]

Actually, Valve devs DO care about how Proton/DXVK works on AMDVLK. For example, see the following issue reported by DXVK dev: https://github.com/GPU...

I've already experienced the exact same brokenness of AMDVLK almost a year ago, when I last tried it on my RX 580. Radv was performing ~25% better, or...

[user1]

I have no idea why is memory usage on Arch different compared to other distros, as someone also posted before. I've used Manjaro KDE, Opensuse Tumbleweed...

[user1]

Uhm no, sorry, but that's complete bull****. First of all, KDE 520mb vs Gnome 1.3gb on cold boot. Yeah, KDE is too heavy.. Regarding bugginess, Gnome...

[user1]

If I were AMD, I would have ditched the abomination which is AMDVLK-open and started supporting RADV as the official open source option, as AMD already...

[user1]

To me, every single GTK file manager I tried feels slow as hell. Even when I simply navigate the folders, there is a slight noticeable delay and I can...

[user1]

Well, idk about these, but I remember discussing the topic in other forum and when I said that Gnome 3.38 supposedly has fullscreen unredirection, a dev...

[user1]

Wayland devs better hurry up and implement the protocol that allows to disable vsync for fullscreen windows. Otherwise, gaming just sucks on Wayland (from...

[user1]

Is it just me, or lately it seems Ubuntu is always the slowest in these benchmarks? Really wonder why other distributions consistently outperform it.

[user1]

I remember experiencing something less serious, but similar on kernel 4.18 with my RX 580, when the idle power consumption was about 15w higher. Someone...

[user1]

My first guess is that it breaks most things because of the switchable graphics layer they introduced a few months ago. Since then, my games also stopped...
