The Ray tracing API is complicated and the shader compiler side is extremely involved. (There are several new shader stages and several features that...

[Venemo]

Please don't bash AMDVLK (PAL, XGL, LLPC). It's a good thing that it exists and that we can read its code. There is a lot of helpful documentation and...

[Venemo]

You don't need to track down what exactly causes the issue, just let us know about the issues you see....

[Venemo]

If you look at the FOSDEM presentation by Nicolai, you can see that the only difference between PRO and AMDVLK is that one uses a proprietary shader compiler...

[Venemo]

Please open a bug report in the mesa issue tracker for each game issue you find. We can only fix issues that we know about. Thank you....

[Venemo]

Feel free to report bugs in mesa. This is fine, just mention which version you use....

[Venemo]

This is not about having it "worsen", but about lack of testing and performance tuning for some games. Driver developers can create more optimal...

[Venemo]

If you have issues with RADV, please open a bug report on the Mesa gitlab.

I'm sorry that we only give you one driver....

[Venemo]

Steam Deck is not on the market yet. PS5 and Xbox are (in my opinion) quite closed devices.

AFAIK currently there is no RDNA 2 based APU...

[Venemo]

Vulkan related things tend to have a volcano themed naming, or at least a 'v' in the name somewhere....

[Venemo]

Which RDNA 2 APU devices are on the market currently? I'm not aware of any....

[Venemo]

Yes, a very well written compute based culling solution can implement some stuff (eg. depth based culling) that would be extremely difficult to implement...

[Venemo]

Yeah, this is similar to what I saw in Cyberpunk as well. The game has a different bottleneck and doesn't benefit from the increased primitive throughput,...

[Venemo]

I'd like to eventually enable it by default on RDNA 2, but we're not comfortable enabling it until we got some solid performance data that proves it's...

[Venemo]

It depends on scene, quality settings and resolution. Lower resolution and quality seem to benefit more, and higher benefit less, probably because the...

[Venemo]

Then the good news is that you get about 5% perf improvement from NGGC on RDNA2 in The Witcher 3....

[Venemo]

shmerl - it may actually help on RDNA1 with The Witcher 3 and Doom Eternal by a few frames per sec, but probably not much, so don't expect any miracles....

[Venemo]

Likely yes on RDNA2 GPUs (somehow filtering out the games that regress), probably not on RDNA1 - like you see it helps very little there....

[Venemo]

There is no loss of quality. If you see any issues, please open a bug report....

[Venemo]

It is beneficial in games that render a lot of primitives, where the fixed-function culling becomes a bottleneck. What this does is remove triangles in...
