TW3 in Wine/esync+dxvk

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.

Are you able to run a benchmark through Blender? I know ACO is aimed at gaming, but I'm curious how well it might run on non-gaming application regardless.

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?

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.

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

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)

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.

@Shmerl

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