Running the game for the second time where tgsi shaders are loaded from cache improves the min fps and improves the various stalls where shaders are compiles during the benchmark but does not eliminate them. Adding the radoensi cache makes the benchmark run smoothly. > > Marek > _______________________________________________ > mesa-dev mailing list > mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org > https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
