Gallium Nine is a BEAST compared to vanilla and staging when using AMD!

As you already used it, you sure saw the differences with the other 2 versions in terms of fps boost, fluidity and stability.
I almost always found out that Gallium Nine not only gives you more fps (sometimes 2-3 times more) but it prevents the fps-drops that are extremely annoying and happen most of the time when using vanilla Wine.
I honestly don't care to play a game at 80 or 100 fps, if then it drops to 10-15 every time you move the mouse around, I will gladly switch to a solid 30 fps but with no further drops.
Gallium Nine gives you that (plus more fps), it raises the minimum fps a LOT, just check the F.E.A.R benchmark screenshots I did when I was using a 7850, and compare the minimum fps between the 3 versions.
I played a lot of other games with that Pc and I remember that with a game (inMomentum) I had like 20-30 fps with Wine (with drops), a slightly better performance with Staging (25-35) and a solid 60fps without drops with Gallium Nine!!
With your hardware you can try a freebie like Planetside 2 that runs great on Wine and amazingly with Gallium Nine!
I hope it gets added like it happened with Wine Staging..

To answer your second question,
yes I had some problems with Company on Heroes where the shadows where rendered too dark (wine 1.9.10) and with Rome: Total War, where the performances didn't change when switching from vanilla to G9 (no idea why but I didn't investigate too much).
Aside for these it was always a big improvement! :)

Nice work, just swapped to the oss AMD driver + mesa 12.0.1 as of a few days ago, been testing some games out with a 290x.

Quite impressed overall tbh.

Can you share the command for displaying the info graph in game? I can add how AMD is shaping up, though pontostroy on the gearsongallium site does a good job

Been trying to get the AMDGPU branch of radeon-profile to work too but segfaults for me :'(

hey thanks!

Yes MESA is a great project and we're super lucky to have all these goods :)

Last time I used GALLIUM_HUD was with 11.2.2 on AMD, with NOUVEAU 12.0.1 some options were missing (like "gpu load" ), but I think it's a NOUVEAU thing.

You can check what's available to be displayed by running (glxgears as example):

GALLIUM_HUD=help glxgears

Then choose whatever you want to display, hud size, etc..

You can also run glxgears -fullscreen to tweak your hud even better

The one that I used with the first posts on this thread was (for 1080p):

GALLIUM_HUD_PERIOD=0.08 GALLIUM_HUD=".h80.w410.c100cpu0+cpu1+cpu2+cpu3;.x460.h80.w960.dfps;.x1450.h80.w440temperature+GPU-load"

You can check other stuff here too:
scroll to "Gallium environment variables"

Cheers manero
