Phoronix: AMD R600g Catches Up With Another GL 4.3 Extension

Thanks to Glenn Kennard, the R600 Gallium3D driver now supports another OpenGL 4.3 extension that was already available for RadeonSI, Intel i965, Nouveau NV50/NVC0, and even the Softpipe and LLVMpipe drivers...

Thanks Glenn ! It's great to see those red marks turn green at mesa matrix.

Will Radeon 6670 support GL 4?

Will Radeon 6670 support GL 4?

I'd say no, at least not any time soon. According to wiki, it's Turks chip, and does not have hw fp64 support.

Anyone knows if someone is working on fp64 "emulation" for chips not supporting it natively?

However, not all graphics cards supported by the R600g driver will be able to handle all of the GL4 extensions and for some are currently limited in the Git code to just a few select GPU generations.

Where can I get information about the support status of the R600g cards?

For fp64 see also http://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=ne...ds-FP64-Native

Here

and here

So tell us where on these sites we can find information which R600g GPUs will be able (future) to handle all of the GL4 extensions?

Judging based on Dave Airlie's comments from: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archive...ne/061792.html and http://lists.freedesktop.org/archive...er/094134.html

from the evergreen family only CAYMAN and CYPRESS seem to have native FP64 support in the hw according to the version of the AMD shader compiler I'm using, all other VLIW4/5 chips seem to emulate fp64

So you could identify them from http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/
