It's useful for not having to disable both HiZ/ZCULL's early pass AND early fail, but since ZCULL doesn't make much of a difference in the first place...

Given that SC2 is pretty much the only game I'm playing lately, it's pretty celebration-worthy for me, hence why it exists.

It also proves...

Don't spoil my flicker of hope. Nouveau is also running at 1/10th the manpower. Which is probably why he's right, we might not be able to pull it off...

[calim]

Pull what off ? Don't you read phoronix ? Nouveau wipes the floor with Southern Islands on a GPU that has been released even later and runs at 1/10th...

Expected, yes, also because there aren't any fun non-casual games there. I guess not many gamers (the target audience ?) are going to play a couple of...

Same CPU though. So you may conclude that the driver code itself, while it may configure the GPU well, isn't very fast....

Thank you



The number of contributors is difficult to express in a meaningful measure because most of them (in this case,...

Fine. But that approach is not practical, because then you'd not be able to use nouveau on modern cards at all; also, for example, one of the components...

That's not how it works. It's like saying you have to learn how to drive a horse carriage before you can learn to drive a modern car....

To see how pointless and hopelessly slow nouveau is, let's pick an example in its favour, say 9800 GTX vs Radeon 6950.
The Radeon card is about...

And I have time to post on phoronix forums ... something doesn't add up.

I have no / too little time to implement the tons of shader compiler optimizations I'd really like to implement to make things faster.
I have no...

For most cards there seem to be people with issues ... my GTX680 works perfectly fine, for Michael it seems not to. Should we disable acceleration for...

The subliminal message was more along the lines of "If it doesn't work, fix it !" I'm trying to get people to contribute but they're awfully...

Docs can also be crappy and near useless (except for public opinion). If you tried to write a driver for r600 having just the released docs, you'd probably...
