aco:


Not bad! It produced around +3 fps for me on average (+3.6% improvement) in the busy street in Novigrad.

GPU: Sapphire Pulse Vega 56
Resolution: 1920x1200.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X.

I had to use llvm 8.0.1 though, since 9.0 snapshot currently causes a GPU hang. So would be interesting to compare with 9.0 once it will be fixed.

I don't have blender installed currently, but if you have some instructions how to do it (specific scenario?) I can try.

Plus, I'm not sure how recent Blender is in Debian testing now, due to freeze (it will end soon though).

I was wondering, should we clear the shaders cache?

Quoting: x_wingI was wondering, should we clear the shaders cache?

Mesa does it by the version, so I'd say no need. New build will have a different version.

I think it's currently only active for radv, so OpenGL benchmarks will need to wait.

They plan to enable it for radeonsi, but now focus on radv.

QuoteQ: Is it radv-only or will RadeonSI work?
A: radv for now, but we intend to look at RadeonSI once things are farther along.

I'm having troubles compiling. What flag should I pass to -dri-drivers?? seems that part is failing? just swrast is ok??

I used my usual Mesa build script (except using the relevant git repo for the source instead of upstream one). It built fine without setting any dri-drivers.

The relevant part ($arch_dir is my variable):

-Ddri-drivers= \
-Ddri-drivers-path="${arch_dir["64"]}" \
"-Dvulkan-drivers=amd" \

I usually only build radeonsi and radv, so not sure what's going on with Nine.

You can see how Debian builds stock Mesa here: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=mesa&arch=amd64&ver=19.1.1-1&stamp=1561995279&raw=0

I used that as a starting point for my script.

Since it's just for testing purposes, you can skip everything but radv altogether. Don't replace your regular Mesa with it. Just run the game on demand with the built one placed in dedicated location. That's what I do.

Well, using on-demand Mesa is very flexible, you can build whatever variant you want and run any game with it for testing purposes. No need to wait for packages.

Just tried Mesa-aco with X4: Foundations, and it works briefly, but then causes a GPU hang. I also didn't manage to make Mesa Vulkan overlay work with it for some reason. Did anyone try that?
