This is a thread for posting benchmarks if you have any.
Mesa repo that contains the compiler: https://github.com/daniel-schuermann/mesa
* Testing instructions.
* Bug reporting.
Compiler is enabled by default. To disable it and use regular amdgpu/llvm compiler with the same Mesa build, set the environment variable:
RADV_PERFTEST=llvmSee:

amdgpu/llvm
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.

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

Mesa does it by the version, so I'd say no need. New build will have a different version.
Actually, on second thought, most appropriate Blender benchies will want to test OpenCL, and that's traditionally not a strong contender with Mesa.
But basemark (if you can get it to actually run), unigine heaven, unigine superposition. Trying to think of a non-game application here, but really anything worth benchmarking will have effectively a game at heart. Anything else isn't really useful for benchmarking.
But the unigine benchies will give some of the OpenGL shaders a workout.

Yes, my bad. Wonder why I was thinking it could take OpenGL....must be tired. Apologies for the noise!
(though basemark has a vulkan backend apparently)
