Re: ATI open source vs Catalyst phoronix benchmarks
Michael should really be running xf86-video-ati and libdrm from git and latest kernel-rcX, otherwise the perfomance will continue to suck in his articles. There are performance improvements and there will be more as time goes by, but the majority of them is and will be disabled with old kernels and DDX drivers. -Marek On Thu, Jul 15, 2010 at 2:56 PM, Andres Cimmarusti andrescimmaru...@yahoo.com wrote: ATI R300 Mesa, Gallium3D vs Catalyst http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=articleitem=ati_r300_currentnum=1 ATI R500 Mesa vs Catalyst http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=articleitem=ubuntu_lts_graphicsnum=1 The first benchmark depressed me, as I have one of these cards...

Re: ATI open source vs Catalyst phoronix benchmarks
That would be fine for a clean test between Radeon and Catalyst, but the first link has benchmarks of old releases of radeon that are way better than the current stable oneThere are many regressions that haven't been addressed. --- On Thu, 7/15/10, Marek Olšák mar...@gmail.com wrote: From: Marek Olšák mar...@gmail.com Subject: Re: ATI open source vs Catalyst phoronix benchmarks To: Andres Cimmarusti andrescimmaru...@yahoo.com Cc: xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org Date: Thursday, July 15, 2010, 1:29 PM Michael should really be running xf86-video-ati and libdrm from git and latest kernel-rcX, otherwise the perfomance will continue to suck in his articles.

Re: ATI open source vs Catalyst phoronix benchmarks
That's understandable because there is no tiling and no DRI2 Swap on the tested KMS machine. Both improve performance and both are probably available in Mesa 7.2 (except that DRI2 - DRI1). Feel free to rerun the tests with the two, you might end up pleasantly surprised. -Marek On Thu, Jul 15, 2010 at 8:40 PM, Andres Cimmarusti andrescimmaru...@yahoo.com wrote: That would be fine for a clean test between Radeon and Catalyst, but the first link has benchmarks of old releases of radeon that are way better than the current stable oneThere are many regressions that haven't been addressed. --- On Thu, 7/15/10, Marek Olšák mar...@gmail.com wrote: From: Marek Olšák mar...@gmail.com Subject: Re: ATI open source vs Catalyst phoronix benchmarks To: Andres Cimmarusti andrescimmaru...@yahoo.com Cc: xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org Date: Thursday, July 15, 2010, 1:29 PM Michael should really be running xf86-video-ati and libdrm from git and latest kernel-rcX, otherwise the perfomance will continue to suck in his articles.
